Stylish Backyard BBQ: Table Decor

Don't hesitate to splurge on the right table linens.

Often with barbeques, we think of the traditionally fun red and white checkered linens on picnic tables. Effective as they are, they are too common.

For an equally as effective alternative, go with true summertime brights: fuschia and orange are irresistible. Add monochromatic bunches of flowers placed in tight bunches in small vases for a nice play on colors.

If you would prefer a simpler table decor, place a large hurricane vase with a candle on each table or a lantern for a subtler centerpiece.
