Mise en place in Estate
Mar 23, 2023
Take some friends, a sunset dinner, the cool evening air and a stylishly set table. These are the right ingredients for creating a corner of paradise on a typical summer evening on a terrace or in the garden.
You take care of the friends; we'll take care of the table. Let's see together how to elegantly set a summer table in the garden, while maintaining the fresh style typical of the warm season.
Ideally, use Cotton or Linen tablecloths and napkins, fresh, lightweight and flowing fabrics, perfect as the foundation for your table setting.

The embroidered tablecloth can become the centerpiece of the dinner; it will lend your elegant table that must-have you need, laying the foundation for a five-star table setting.

To make the embroidery and cutwork of the embroidered tablecloth, you can place it over a second white tablecloth; this way, you can hide the color of the table while also making the surface softer and avoiding the annoying noise of plates and glasses.
Opt for white plates, either smooth or embossed to echo the embroidered tablecloth, creating an impeccable all-white effect. Play with layering by choosing white plates in various shapes or made from different materials.

To set an elegant table, choose transparent glasses made of glass or crystal; avoid using plastic or colored glasses so as not to spoil the final effect. |
We can also consider a floral arrangement in shades of white, with hydrangeas and geraniums typical of the season. However, let's add a touch of originality with green elements such as leaves and aromatic plants; the green will stand out against the white of the flowers and the embroidered tablecloth, creating a fresh yet refined effect.
Use comfortable seating, such as wide chairs or armchairs. You can also opt for benches with cushions, matching the embroidered decorative cushion covers with the tablecloth for an even more elegant result.
