When it comes to Christmas in July… you know I am all about setting up the twinkling trees and decorating tables with ambiance. I love to mingle the seasons- and what better way to mingle the magic of Christmas with the magic of summer than to set up for a gathering out under the stars? With fairy lights on repeat and a tree dressed with beautiful foliage and of course, an abundance of beautiful summer blooms- together they create a magic filled July gathering.
Magic Filled July Gathering
This gathering started with all things magic filled. Twinkle lights on repeat is a thing! I started with a sweet foliage garland that is filled with leaves and berries and charming little lights. This lush lit foliage is one of my favorites because not only is it perfect for using during the holidays- it also has a lovely look for anytime of the year. Battery garland is perfect for adding to places where you don’t want a cord or don’t have an outlet. Like the center of a table.
I also used the battery operated garland attached to the overhead lights.
What I love about this tree: I love a twinkling tree decorated with more lights and a lovely foliage. While using fresh foliage and flowers is always a good thing- sometimes you want to keep it easy and keep it lasting longer. In that case- a faux garland is perfect. This garland has an abundance of leaves and white berries along with lights to add a charming look.
I added a couple of strands of cafe globe lights for even more magic as well.
Bring in the blooming beauty
Well you know it wouldn’t be my signature style if I didn’t include some blooming beauty. From flower filled plates to etched stemware to vases of blooms. Especially in summer, adding flower filled beauty brings the finishing touch and mingles the seasons perfectly.
Background Layers of Lovely
In the background- I added wreaths to the tops of the wine barrel tables we have and then placed a large lantern in the center. The ambiance on repeat in the background of the table just makes it even more inviting and cozy.

Happy Friday friends.
I love your table and all your decorations that show in the picture. great job as always. what brand are the antiques white plates with the pink flowers dotted around the outside rim? I looked on Balsam Hill to try to buy lanterns like yours but could not find them. do you know where I could purchase two? thank you for always inspiring me.
beautiful as always. and the more lights and accessories the more beautiful! I love how you photograph by not showing everything real clear. bright and low light gives a romantic touch.
So romant and lovely.
I think the plates are vintage Limoge.
I just love this table
BEAUTIFUL as always.
I am a true pushover for elegance…I love the basket on the frontdoor. It made me fill welcome at firtsight.
Lovely as usual! Where do you get the candles that drip?
always love to read your posts. always great new ideas.
