Alfresco Patriotic Tablescapes

Alfresco

What is Alfresco? “Alfresco” is an Italian term that translates to “in the fresh air” or “outdoors.” In the context of dining or entertaining, it refers to activities that take place in an outdoor setting, such as a garden, patio, or open-air space. Alfresco dining often involves enjoying meals, drinks, or social gatherings in a natural or outdoor environment. It allows people to take advantage of pleasant weather and the beauty of nature while enjoying food, company, and relaxation.

Perfectly Vintage

Welcome to our backyard here in Coastal Maine! With the Fourth of July around the corner, I was inspired to put together this patriotic alfresco tablescape on our new backyard teak table using all of my mother’s various vintage china patterns, silverware, platters, and glassware.

Patriotic Table Centerpieces

Let’s start with this old rustic red bucket! 

I couldn’t resist a galvanized bucket for $5 at a second-hand shop. With all that chippiness and color, I knew it would be perfect for the backyard this summer. Today, I am using the bucket as the foundation for my patriotic tablescape centerpiece, along with some simple lilac branches and a few old garden stakes that were my mother’s.
