SHOP THE PIECES I USED FOR MY SUMMER TABLE SETTING:
Summer just seems to be the perfect time to entertain! The flowers are in bloom, kids are playing in the backyard and friends gather to make special memories.
Whether you’re hosting out of town guests, your small group from church or just having some girls over for girls night, I have a few tips that can help make your evening a night to remember.
3 Tips for the Perfect Summer Table Setting:
Tip #1: Fresh flowers.
When it comes to a table setting, buying fresh flowers can make a huge difference (and honestly an essential in my book)! They automatically wake up your senses and help create the perfect ambiance. Aside from the delicious meal, the ultimate dinner party experience is all about the accessories and how you set everything up to create a picture perfect table. Some people start with the flowers and then go about rearranging and adding their personal style to the table. While others use their flowers for the finishing touches. Whichever table setting techniques you choose, make sure you have everything you need to bring it all together. When selecting fresh cut flowers be sure to avoid anything heavily scented (if you’re new to floral arrangements, like me, I suggest going with hydrangeas! They’re one of my favorite flowers, super inexpensive and make such a statement). The focus should be on delicious foods and great company — so relax and enjoy!
Tip #2: Add lemons for a pop of color!
Summer is such a fun time to play around with pops of bright colors. One day as I was scrolling Pinterest, I came across a flower vase full of lemons and absolutely fell in love with the idea! If this doesn’t give you all the Italian summer vibes (more specifically Capri and the Amalfi Coast) I don’t know what does! I love how the lemons bring out a pop of color and add such a fun design touch. It’s inexpensive, easy to do and looks amazing!
Tip #3: Mix and match your own plates with MacKenzie-Childs new Royal Check line.
I was so excited when MacKenzie-Childs released their new Royal Check line. It is everything I’ve ever dreamed of! I will always be a fan of the original black and white checkered design because it’s iconic and has so much history behind it. But I personally LOVE the blue design and think it’s new, fresh and clean. Over the past three years, I have added pops of blue all over my house as an accent color, so it truly seemed like the MacKenzie-Childs team made this line specifically for me! As y’all know, I have had the honor of attending #CampMacKenzieChilds TWICE in Aurora, New York and touring the grounds of the production facility. The Royal Check line was actually inspired by the ever-changing blue waters of Cayuga Lake, which their 65-acre campus overlooks in Upstate New York. Like Courtly Check enamelware, Royal Check is hand-painted, featuring color-dragged checks in a range of blue hues, plus some subtle jewel-tone highlights, that reflect the hands of each artisan. The variations in the blue come from the formulation and consistency of the paint, as well as the number of strokes that create each check. All of this means that while no two pieces of Royal Check are exactly alike, they all work together in perfect harmony!
I already had several pieces from their Sweetbriar collection, so I was able to mix and match with some new pieces I ordered for my summer table setting. That’s what I love most about MacKenzie-Childs! You can mix some of their pieces with things you already have at home. Maybe your grandmother passed down her old china to you, or you received a full set as a wedding present, don’t be afraid to incorporate those items with some new pieces from the Royal Check collection. You will be surprised how easy it is to mix and match for a fun, colorful summer place setting.
Do you have any exciting summer gatherings coming up? If not, go out on a limb and invite some friends over for dinner! Hosting people over to your home can be one of the most rewarding things for you and your guests. All you need is some a beautiful summer table setting, delicious food, yummy drinks and even better company!

Hi, I love your tablescape. Where did you purchase the blue fringe place settings? I have a few of the same pieces and would love to recreate the concept, but I am having a hard time finding a similar blue placemat that does not clash.
