Eating out of doors can be quite a special event, especially when your out of doors looks like this! I love the warm colors contrasting with the cool soothing greens and greys surrounding the space.

I love the way the bright reds and yellows contrast with all of the green plants. Dining alfresco is the best!

6. Play up the linens. Sometimes, you just have to push together a bunch of mismatched tables. Soften the transition with bright tablecloths. Festive and functional.

I can't get away from the long table look - I just love it so much. In this case, the red of the tablecloth provides a fabulous contrast to the green of its setting.

Dining outdoors is great for larger gatherings like birthday parties, weddings or special occasions. With all that beautiful, breezy space, your seating is no longer limited by the size of the room.

Look for Inspiration. Search "Dining Al Fresco" in the Ideabooks section of houzz. No houzz "dining al fresco"-themed ideabook would be complete without this shot. I think every single one of us uses it every time we compile one!

One simple piece of cloth can absolutely make a space - especially when that space is a patio with a super-long dining table.

If you are fortunate to live in a temperate climate, how wonderful it would be to set a festive table outdoors.

Throwing a football party? Think beyond helmet-shaped chip bowls and team pennants. Instead, cloak the table with sophisticated linens and fresh blooms in the colors of the big event.
