ENTERTAINING OUTDOOR entertaining

Inspirations for casual summer entertaining

These photos were styled by Lara Hutton of The Names Agency. This Australian stylist marvelously created scenes for products and food amongst other things. I discovered her through a post on design to inspire blog.

If the photo in the park and the veranda scene do not inspire you to organize a stylish picnic this weekend I do not know what will. It is fun to see how a few careful chosen items can generate a magnificent atmosphere. These two themes are easy to duplicate. And they can be done on a limited budget.

The food photographs are simply stunning. The shabby chic style goes hand to hand with alfresco dining. If you stay at a cottage this summer, take notes on how these recipes are plated. When you look at it after the facts, it seems so simple to highlight comfort food. Enjoy the views.
