Setting a Perfect Table

Here are some suggestions on setting the perfect table. Express your exotic side with a neutral base of colors and use bold accents. I always recommend you keep your base colors in neutral tones and then add a splace of color. Great colors for outdoors are Aqua, Coral, Lime, Orange. What do you think of these place settings? Had a party recently we would love to hear your entertaining ideas.

For your next day trip to the park or the beach take a trip to your local Target store they have the perfect table settings for your outdoor retreat. You can coordinate table cloths and cups and napkins and plates.
