Summer is just the right time to set up the dining table outdoors to take in the beautiful weather. We can help you set the perfect outdoor table with essentials from our summer 2014 collection. This collection includes summery table linens, colorful dinnerware and more accessories for outdoor dining. Jeffery Moss, a stylist working on our summer 2014 furniture collection, shares his ideas on summer table settings and creating a beautiful summer tablescape with table linens, glassware and more. The idea of the beautiful photographs of our summer collection is to recreate the look at home with our outdoor dining accessories. Jeffery almost tries to create a family portrait with attention to the smallest details like the beautiful natural rattan tray and medallion-print table runner included in the summer table settings. The home featured in the video is a family home that has been passed down from one generation to the other. The outdoor table is warm and inviting as the family will actually host parties and gathering here. It is a place where the family will gather for the summer. Another great idea for outdoor summer dining is string lights. Instead of the traditional chandelier, Jeffery pairs the table with our globe string lights. The lights lend an instant festive cheer to the outdoor setting. The mood created is perfect for summer gatherings with family and friends. The flower arrangements are the last finishing touch to the summer table. Add some bubbles to the water in the vase to lend an effervescent touch to the summer setting.
