4th of July Tablescape
Here in South Alabama things are beginning to open back up and we are all looking forward to safely spending time with our family and friends for the upcoming 4th of July Holiday. In the spirit of celebration, we have put together a fun 4th of July backyard BBQ tablescape!
We started our design with a beautiful farm table with coordinating crossback chairs, bringing in texture and warmth to our tablescape. We chose a traditional red, white and blue color scheme for our linens, playing off the 4th of July theme. We love the combination of our red and white check napkin with a royal polyester runner!
Keeping it simple and classic, we decided to pair our white square dinner and salad plates with our copper flatware. Next up, glassware! Glassware is important when completing your place setting! Think about what beverages will be served: water, wine, beer or cocktails? The collins glass is very versatile. It can be used as a water/ tea glass or even for mixed drinks! The bordeaux wine glass is a beautiful option when serving wine and our smoke beaded glass is a fun option for your mixed drink or cocktail!
Next, the finishing touches! You may have small decor items around your home to incorporate with your rental items! We chose a few votives, small American flags and a flag banner to tie everything together. You likely have similar elements that could complete your tablescape. Another fun and functional idea is to take galvanized buckets and add some sand and sparklers. This is supper fun for the kids and adults, too!
Head over to our Instagram to view our IGTV where we walk you through our setup! We hope this inspires your tablescape for your upcoming Summer parties! We can’t wait to work with you! Cheers!

Wedding Rentals in Orange Beach, Al
As we have said before, one of the many things we love about working in the wedding rental business is the many different wedding venues that we get to visit and see. We also love to see the whole wedding inspiration come together between the wedding planner and client. Finally, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle is the wedding photographer that works the event. We generally try to take photos of the different weddings and events, and undoubtedly when we see the professional photographers work, we are blown away and always think one day we are going to do a blog post showing our photos vs. their photos - hint, it wouldn't be good for us:)
Wedding Venue: Beach House in Orange Beach Al
This beach house is located in Orange Beach, Al as you head east down canal road towards bear point marina. The location is tucked in the woods and is unassuming until you walk through the front doors and are greeted with a great waterfront view. The first floor is designed to host events with a built in bar and open air floor plan that overlooks a pool and pier. Here are a few photos of this great wedding venue.

Mobile Museum of Art Wedding
The Mobile Museum of Art was formed in 1957 and officially opened in October 1964, and has been providing exhibits and programs in Mobile, Al for almost 50 years. One fact about the museum that most residents of Mobile, Al are not aware of is that you can host events and weddings at the museum. Furthermore, table and chair rentals are not needed as they have this equipment in house, unless of course you wanted something more elegant like a chiavari chair, then you would need to rent these.
Event information from their website:
