Why wouldn’t you bring your formal dining chairs outside for an elegant dinner on the lawn? They shouldn’t be confined to inside of the house only. That’s exactly what I did with this coral and lime table and my guests loved it! It was unexpected, unique and different than any dinner party I had ever given. A bold, coral-hued tablecloth in an opulent Greek Key pattern set the foundation while lime green chargers and vases gave it even more brilliance. Napkins, which I already had, reflected all of these sanguine shades and blended in perfectly. Of course, you can’t forget the napkin rings, and these spiky coral-shaped beauties were the jewelry that finished it all off.

The versatility of the elements on this table allow it to be used almost year-round: Spring, Summer or Fall. I love this coral and lime table color scheme just for that reason.

The Greek Key pattern of this rich tablecloth lends itself to a stately vibe without being too pretentious. La Tavola was my source for this stunning tablecloth.

Luxurious velvet dining chairs create a sense of elegance with the adventure of being outdoors at the same time. It was a fun change to use these chairs in my backyard and my guests were not expecting such a palatial table set up on the lawn!

By happen stance, these napkins were already in my entertaining arsenal and they couldn’t have fit into the color scheme better!

Keeping the florals simple with a just a few varieties of bloom will complement any place setting rather than distract. In addition, because this is outdoors, you can rely on the natural landscaping to enhance your table.

Neutral dining chairs are a good choice when thinking about decor. Any color of table linens work well, which allows you to change it often without worrying if it will match.

Lime green charger plates really make a statement while the coral napkin rings play off the tablecloth. They can be found inexpensively at a hobby store or home decor in many shades to complement your setting.
