ciao! newport beach: setting an outdoor table for the weekend

I found the perfect combination of

red, white and blue outdoor plates and bowls

this week at Home Goods.

Outdoor table settings
are all about easy-care tableware and accessories.
You don't want things getting broken or damaged
while you're trying to have fun!

That’s why I love
these stylish melamine plates and

they'll be a pretty focal point at the table.

I’m just playing around with the setting today,

so I’ll be all ready for guests this weekend.

I’ll have more time for prepping and cooking,
if I know what going on the table.

Planning it all ahead of time and
setting the tableware aside,
will make setting the table
an easy chore on Sunday.

I love how the patterns
interplay with each other so far!
The paisley and bandana fabrics
of the the runner and napkins really
compliment the patterns on dishes!
