Garden party inspiration – An elegant summer table setting
1. GARDEN PARTY INSPIRATION – A NEUTRAL BASE FOR YOUR SUMMER TABLE SETTING
The perfect garden party table setting starts with a good base. Decorate with a neutral tablecloth in light tones that allows both porcelain and decorative details to really stand out. Add beautiful flowers for a more personal feeling. For this garden party inspiration, we have chosen green tones in combination with a beige base, a dream combination and the perfect complement to the nature in your garden.
Create a beautiful summer table setting in the garden with a natural linen tablecloth from Scandi Living as a base, what details will you choose to accompany it?
2. TABLEWARE IN NATURE'S COLOUR PALLET
Enhance your summer feelings further by setting the table with rich natural colours for the summer party! Here we were inspired by the green Daria plates from PotteryJo and have combined them with the Oyster plates from Mateus. The curved, wavy shapes with the deep green are stylish contrast to say the least. We then added glasses, jugs, vases and other details in green tones for some tone-on-tone garden party inspiration.
Match the Dots green plate from PotteryJo together with the beige Oyster from Mateus to create a stylish contrast to your summer table setting in the garden.
3. WELCOME YOUR GUESTS WITH TEXTILES AROUND THE TABLE
Create a warm and cosy summer table setting for your inspiring garden party by decorating with throws, pillows and even a rug. Hang a blanket over the back of the chair or place a pile of them in a basket close by so your guests can to warm up during the later hours after the sun's rays have set. It creates an inviting feeling and makes your guests feel cared for.
Have a pile of throws close at hand so that your guests can wrap themselves in a soft blanket in the later hours of the day.
4. ADD ATMOSPHERE WITH COSY OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Portable lamps are perfect for the set table and are also a practical detail for inside the home with its wireless function that makes it possible to move it wherever you need it - an interior detail you cannot do without this summer!

5. DECORATE THE SUMMER TABLE WITH BEAUTIFUL WILDFLOWERS
Pick some beautiful wildflowers this summer to use as an elegant table decoration for your summer garden party. The delicate blooms add to the atmosphere and match perfectly together with the green porcelain from PotteryJo and Kartio drinking glasses in green from Iittala. We picked cow parsley and lilacs but pick whatever is in season and find inspiration from nature for your garden party.

Stylish and practical storage like these baskets are the perfect summer garden party inspiration. Store your drinks in a larger basket and keep them cool with crushed ice. Or why not choose to present a smaller basket with delicious crusty bread that is easy to pass around the table between your guests.
