Veranda Views

Make the most of a balmy summer evening with a table set in a spot to catch front-porch breezes.

Coral Cues
Encourage a sense of calm and fellowship that inspires guests to linger on a quiet summer’s eve. Start by balancing formality and esprit with a floor-length tablecloth in a laid-back bandana-style print.

Add cool hues of blue and white to provide instant tranquility. Add zing to the tablescape with bursts of deep coral in the dinnerware and fresh dahlias.
Settings laced with a seaside motif are sure to prompt stories of favorite beach excursions, blending old memories with new ones.
