Not everyone lives in a home that has a yard. When that is the case, often times there is a deck or terrace off the living room or dining room. Whether the outdoor space is ample enough to hold a dining set or narrow enough to hold only a table, think vertically in your tablescape. Decorate up!
Tall tea pots and pitchers, stemware, pedestals and footed serving dishes, and a tall urn full of the best floral arrangement the season has to offer make for a perfectly inviting tea party. Keep the colors cohesive, perhaps picking up shades from the linens you'll use. And, if there is enought space, surround the table with a few garden pots filled with more favorite colored flowers. Stunning!
