Labor Day is the official end to Summer. As we say goodbye to parties on the beach, backyard barbecues, and the endless hours spent lounging by the pool, let’s celebrate this last hurrah in style with summertime-inspired tablescapes.

The traditional red, white, and blue themed table setting symbolizes this American holiday set aside for working men and women. The tablescape pictured above is embellished with fresh cut flowers in mason jars, place cards cut into the shape of stars, and fresh lemonade set atop “Old Glory”.

The BBQ Master

The backyard barbecue is as American as denim jeans and the mason jar. This whimsical table setting celebrates Americana.

The Polynesian Luau

For those less formal gatherings, have some fun with your tablescape. This Luau-inspired table setting sets the scene for an evening with friends.

Poolside Dining

The view is centerstage here, so a “less is more” tablescape is used to compliment this setting. A striped table cloth in summertime colors is the perfect backdrop for this simple table setting.

The Seaside Themed Patio Party

Say goodbye to summer with one last patio party with a seaside themed tablescape. Use fishnet as a table runner and place seashells in glass hurricanes as your centerpiece.
