Keep entertaining carefree with these simple tips for an aqua and coral beach tablescape. This party table is perfect for summer birthdays, showers, cookouts, or just a fun family dinner.

6 TOP TIPS FOR SUMMER TABLESCAPES

Add a Summer Touch
Whether it’s the beach, pool, or grilling out, add a summer element. I chose the beach, so I incorporated seashells as cupcake toppers and a seashell fabric for napkins!

Color Coordinate
To make my aqua and coral really pop, I kept my table to those two colors. I made my own cupcake stand by gluing together a plate and candle holder. A quick spray paint with a coral color and ta-da!

Easy Place Cards
To make matching place cards, I simply used a seashell silhouette, added names, printed, and tied onto the glasses! Place cards help make guests feel truly special!

White Plates
No matter what your color scheme or theme, white plates are always a go-to for any tablescape! Investing in a set of white salad plates is perfect for topping on larger colored dinner plates.
