Let's imagine that a glass table is a smooth surface of water. As underplates, we will take a straw napkin of a rich blue color and a construction mosaic imitating mother-of-pearl. We will limit the serving area with marine ropes made from construction ropes, and complement the table with flowers with white buds imitating sea foam. We will add accessories in a nautical style.

Victoria Pashinskaya, designer of the TV project “Made with Taste”: - When decorating a table in the summer, you need to use all sorts of flowers and plants that abound in the country and even within the city. The color scheme and color scheme in this case can be either soft, for example, lilac with a haze, or bright, lemon or scarlet. The only thing that will remain unchanged is the color of fresh greenery of various shades.

Such a decorative element can be made with your own hands, using ordinary glasses, soil and miniature indoor roses. For a table with an abundance of fresh flowers and plants, it is better to choose napkins and textiles in natural shades that repeat the main colors of the table setting. In this case, green, beige, lilac. If you have a fairly large and noticeable center of the composition that takes a lot of attention, use neutral dishes - white or transparent. After all, in the summer we have the opportunity to add brightness to the table with the help of seasonal fruits, vegetables and flowers, so bright dishes may be superfluous.
