Story and Styling by Emily Grant
Summer entertaining can be thrown together with loving intention and styled to your taste. This artful al fresco summer tablescape highlights the fun that can be had with food, collected pieces, and last minute finds at the grocery store. Emily Grant of Circa Maison and Emily Grant Styling loves to design in a collected, layered look with a lot of story. The silverware doesn’t match? No problem—still use it!
Is your floral budget not robust? Style with vegetables and fruits instead!
Your personal style is modern but you need some visual interest that perhaps only your grandmother’s piece can provide? Mix and match incomplete sets, a little of this and a whole lot of that, and your tabletop will be far more interesting and authentic.
