Impromptu Summer Party – Black and white stripes

While we just got done with a weekend of parties here in the US we always want more. Summer is so often about last-minute get togethers ….which often turn out to be the most fun. Here are a couple of ideas to put together and have a smart look, easily done with a visit to a local nursery for centerpieces. While not detailed to death to stress you out these boards are meant to make it easy to put together with a few calls.

Black and white stripe cloth, black charges, black and white polka dot napkins with shock of pink geranium for the table . The near rusty-brown hurricane base puts together one of my all time favorite color combos, black white and browns.

Black table cloth with black and white striped napkin, Bellini modern chair, black bubble glass hurricane and a gorgeous mix of ferns for lots of texture * a  lovely note to your guests that both compliments and suggests!

Black and white toile tablecloth, black and white ticking stripe for napkin and IN BLOOM NOW  a series of lavender plants and black glass candles for tabletop.
