Blue and White Tabletop for Polo

Beating the Heat at Twilight Polo

It was a scorcher of a weekend, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying an evening out at The Plains for Twilight Polo.

I’ve talked about my love of blue and white as a color palette in this post. It’s the perfect backdrop for so many pairings, and this tabletop is just another example of why. Our silver, rattan, white, and lettuceware pieces popped against the blue and white paisley backdrop.

I brought along one of my essentials for the summer: my flatware caddy. It keeps utensils, paper straws, cups, and napkins neat and contained whether you’re tailgating or picnicking.

Our spread included everything from antique silver to a few of my favorite Beatriz Ball pieces to easy-to-use (and toss) disposable dishes. As you can see from above, we had so much food that we ran out of tablecloth!

For our florals, we opted for a simple arrangement of a few big hydrangea blooms, provided by our fabulous friend, Courtney. It’s a go-to for easy elegance. Don’t mind ours, which were wilting in the heat like the rest of us!

Here’s what we served:

Sara’s ham and cheese sliders
caprese bites (here’s a link to my recipe)
veggie tray (carrots, celery, and cucumber slices)
hummus
guacamole
Sloane’s pasta salad
Rachael’s summer spinach salad
Courtney’s rice cereal treats
my Texas cowboy cookies
fabulous cheese and charcuterie boards
hubby’s fried chicken and homemade honey mustard and hot BBQ sauces
Sery’s fruit salad
so many dips and sweets

To cool off, we had all kinds of chilled beverages, including Court’s homemade limoncello. You can find our recipe here from our farewell to summer party.
