I think we’re all looking forward to summer now and mostly to all those beautiful summer dinners. It could be a casual brunch on your patio or even a chic dinner party with family and friends. No matter the occasion – it’s important with a beautiful summer table setting to really achieve that summer feeling.

So, in this post I’ll be sharing 10 amazing summer table setting ideas that you can use for those late night dinners. So, let’s dive in!

Summer Table Setting 1: Wooden Details

Let’s start off strong with wooden details. Here, I would say it’s ideal to have a wooden dining table to really get that rustic and natural feeling.

However, if you don’t have a wooden dining table there are other options. For instance, you can achieve the wooden details by including wooden placemats, chargers or even coasters. I love the way a beautifully polished wood finish adds warmth to the table.

Summer Table Setting 2: Simple White & Green

So, if you’re someone who loves clean lines and subtle elegance, then a simple white and green table setting is a great choice. You can use white plates, napkins and tablecloths and then pair it with beautiful fresh greenery to bring a refreshing and modern feel to it. Sometimes less really is more!

And I need to give you a great tip on the most amazing all white plates with such beautiful details, check them out here. Perfect for a summer table setting!

Summer Table Setting 3: Nautical Blues and Whites

There’s just something about a coastal-inspired table setting that just feels like summer, I mean coastal interior pretty much are summer inside.

Think a beach-themed dinner with soft blues and whites for the tableware and then sea-glass-inspired glassware. This along with seashells and driftwood centerpieces will really give the dinner a beachy feel.

Summer Table Setting 4: Retro Plates & Glassware

A vintage table setting can never go wrong. It gives the dinner such an amazing atmosphere.

I love using retro plates and glassware – especially in a mid century modern style. You can add vintage floral plates along with a retro vase with flowers as a centerpiece. This table setting will create such a warm and welcoming feeling for all of your guests.

Summer Table Setting 5: Lemon & Blue Hues

There’s something really magical about sunset-inspired colors – especially paired with soft blues and touches of gold, such as golden candlestick holders. This combo feels both refreshing and luxurious.

I would say you should start with a light blue table runner as a base and then a large floral arrangement with yellow flowers as a centerpiece. Now for the vase, I love this soft yellow glass vase that will add just the right amount of yellow. And the last piece is of course the plates and I love these blue patterned plates – perfect for summer.

Summer Table Setting 6: Soft Pink

If you want to host your friends for a really girly summer dinner – this summer table setting is perfect for you! These soft pink details really adds a dreamy, romantic and feminine touch for that brunch or evening dinners.

Opt for a blush linen table cloth with white and golden accents. As a table centerpiece – get a large pink bouquet of white and pink flowers, such as peonies or roses to add to the feminine vibe. Light pink glassware or rose-tinted candles will finish the look beautifully.

Summer table setting 7: Bold Prints & Palm Leaves

if you’re looking for more of a fun and exotic summer table, then you should include bold beautiful prints, but also palm leaves.

So, you can either use a palm leave patterned table cloth or palm fronds as placemats. If you use palm fronds – then it’s beautiful to also add rattan chargers for an extra island vibe.

Summer table setting 8: Crisp Whites and Silver Accents

Summer focuses a lot on bright and soft colors – however that’s not for everyone. Maybe you like a simple table setting with crisp white details and silver accents.

To achieve a crisp white feeling on your table setting – start with a crisp white tablecloth. Then add white or light blue napkins, silverware and glassware. This will make the dinner setting fresh and sophisticated.

Also, add these beautiful silver candlestick holders for a cozy summer night.

Summer table setting 9: Mediterranean Blue and White

If you love the Mediterranean look just as much as I do – you’ll love this blue and white tiles themed summer table.

Start with a white tablecloth for a blank canvas and then add these beautiful blue and white plates, a terracotta vase and blue napkins. To give the setting even more of an authentic Mediterranean look, you can add fresh lemons or olives as natural decorations.

Summer table setting 10: Mix & Match Tableware

one thing that I think is so beautiful is to mix and match tableware. This means mixing and matching different colors and patterns for a playful vibe.

You can get a white tablecloth as a neutral base and then include mismatched plates and glasses in vibrant hues, such as turquoise and yellow. This is perfect if you love colors – it will create a fun and energetic atmosphere.

Final thoughts

So, with all of these styles you get a beautiful summer table setting can really enhance the feeling of your dinners and brunches. And remember – it’s not just about the tableware – it’s about creating an inviting, relaxed atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy each other’s company.
