Скачать или смотреть 4 Easy Tips for Al Fresco Dining | Alora Ambiance

It’s always a treat to share a meal outdoors in Minnesota, as our months to do so are limited! Here are 4 quick tips to follow for an elevated outdoor dining experience:

1. Simplify Your Centerpiece: It was so easy to grab one of my terracotta pots as a centerpiece. In this case I chose the one with Corsican mint - a nice little scented addition to the setting!

2. Utilize Trays: I love trays and use them often for entertaining. This large rattan one is perfect for carrying out things to our backyard table.

3. Embrace Color: It’s fun using rich, colorful linens in summer table settings, and I love mixing patterns - here a little traditional gingham with my favorite Lisa Corti napkins.

4. Don’t Forget The Snacks: Adding small bites to the table for guests to munch on (like local maker Isadore Nut Co's delizioso lemon rosemary nut mix) as well as some bubbly water keeps guests happy until dinner is served.
