Oh my gosh you guys – I’m just in love with this outdoor table setting! Aren’t those beautiful royal colors?
If you’ve already read the How To Set a Spectacular Citrus Tablescape post, you’ll remember how I ended up in this fabulous location. (If you haven’t read that one yet, you can click on the title above, and get all the details!)
This beautiful dining pavilion belongs to the lovely Renae at Peacock Ridge Farm, and we planned and set this tablescape together! Click here to read Renae’s post.
Our Outdoor Table Setting Started with Flowers
It all started, as is often the case, with the flowers. So there Renae and I were – at the Portland Flower Market at 5:30 in the morning! We had decided to get flowers for the citrus tablescape I mentioned above. But while we were there, we saw these gorgeous royal colored flowers and couldn’t resist.
I was especially excited about these particular colors because the wisteria on her pavilion was blooming! It was serious purple lushness, and the perfect backdrop for a royal purple outdoor table setting! Renae provided the white pitchers, and did most of the flower arranging.
An Outdoor Table Setting – Just Like an Indoor Table Setting
Sometimes it’s great to have a picnic on the grass or a camp out or another form of eating outside. But if you’ve got a regulation table and chairs, it’s wonderful to do an outdoor table setting that’s just like an indoor one. Only out in the fresh air!
That’s what we did here in Renae’s beautiful pavilion, which already has a lovely table, ready to go.
If you don’t have a permanent dining area in your yard, never fear! It’s fun to find a spot that can accommodate a table and chairs. I don’t have one, but whenever I want to eat outside, my husband helps me move a table and chairs out onto the patio.
You can also find a different beautiful spot to do your outdoor table setting. For instance, I once took a portable table and chair to the park for a lovely pizza dinner! It was so much fun! But back to our purple table!
The Place Settings
We used basically the same place settings as our earlier table, except we switched out the chargers. These gold ones were so elegant. Renae and I both had gold and white dishes, so we alternated them around the table. We combined our flatware and glasses as well.
Here’s one of the place settings close up. Renae put a little faux fern on each napkin to carry through the greenery from our beautiful flowers.
Regal Gold Candlesticks
Once you get the Royal concept in your mind, everything looks like it could be used by a queen! Aren’t these candlesticks regal? They’re the perfect touch to finish off this lovely tablescape.
A Picture Says a Thousand Words – or something like that!
I know that’s a cliché, but I’m going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story. And if you have any questions at all about our royally colored outdoor table setting, just drop me a note in the comments! I lover to hear from you! Enjoy!

Absolutely love the colours that you chose for this beautiful tablescape and Renae’s pavillion is gorgeous especially with the Wisteria in bloom. Watched the video of Renae at Peacock Ridge Farm, I am sure her guests were ‘that WOW factor’. Also enjoyed the Picnic time in the park for one. Great job. Looking forward to your St. Patrick’s Day blog.
Thanks so much Janice – yes, just couldn’t pass those colors up! 🙂 The picnic was really fun and amusing to see the other park patrons wonder what the heck I was doing! 🤣 Thanks so much as always for stopping by – l love a visit from another tablescaper!
Such a fun memory. Let’s plan another play date soon. Hugs to you, my friend.
Absolutely! It really was a wonderful day! Thanks for introducing me to the flower market, plus sharing your beautiful home and creative talents with me! 💜 See you soon!
This tablescape is so stunning, Barbara, I’m literally running out of Pinterest boards to pin to 🙌 Love all the deep dark purples against the golds and the creamy whites. Every detail is just so gorgeous. Hope your Fall season is off to a great start, CoCo
CoCo you’re so sweet!! Thank you – we sure had a fun time with it! 😉 So glad you stopped by – Happy Fall to you too!
What an absolutely breathtaking table Barbara. I love the purples and gold together. And that location is incredible. Magazine worthy for sure!
Thanks so much – it was totally fun to be able to set that long table in such a gorgeous place!
Hello Barbara! I’m hopping over from Renae’s post and I love how you both shared the same table; it’s cool that you were able to combine so many pieces and glassware to come up with this beautiful table design!! Her outdoor pavillion is incredible and wow… the wisteria!!! I love that you both photographed the same table but your perspective is different. Really beautiful job, well done!!!
Hugs from Texas (but formerly from Murrieta, California),

Hi Barb! So sweet of you to stop over! I was just thrilled to work with Renae after admiring her blog all this time. You’re right – her place is fabulous, and that wisteria was too beautiful to pass up the opportunity to take a billion photos of it! 🙂 I either didn’t know or didn’t remember that you host a link party – I’ll stop over there and check out all the goodness! Happy Weekend!
Really, really stunning, Barbara. It’s the kind of table that you see in magazines. You and Rena did a splendid job and taking advantage of the blooming wisteria was the smart thing to do. I like my bright and brilliant colors and this table is all that and more!
Thank you for sharing at the FWF party.
Hugs’
RR
Oh I’m SO glad you like it Rachelle! We had so much fun, and Renae’s place is so gorgeous! You know I always love FWF – it’s so sweet of you to host! See you over there!
WOW!!! That tablescape is absolutely stunning, Barbara! Who wouldn’t love to sit at that gorgeous table, right????
Hi Michele! Sorry I missed your sweet comment till now! It was so much fun to work on this table, and Renae is so talented! I was really sad that we couldn’t have a big dinner with all those places filled at the time. But now … ! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely July my friend!
Absolutely stunning, Barbara! I am in love with the color palette you used! So well done!
Thanks so much Holly – that wisteria was so inspiring! Hope you’re having a ton of fun this summer! 😉
Barbara, the table is so lovely, but yes, the setting is so dreamy. I would love to have such a lovely location to entertain in! The purple and gold are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Isn’t that a wonderful spot?! She’s totally inspired me for a dining area in my own backyard! 🙂 Hope you had a lovely 4th and are still enjoying the long weekend!
Barbara, this tablescape is gorgeous. You and Renae created a magical space. I didn’t know you two lived close by. The colors, flowers, and tableware are awesome.. What an amazing place she has for dining. I’d love to have a meal with you all. Thank you for sharing at TTA.
Oh wouldn’t that be fun Carol?! You just let us know next time you’re in Portland Oregon, and we’ll all set a table – and have dinner – together! 🙂 Take care till then!
This is so elegant! I dream of an outdoor pavilion for dining! What is the little pink berry hanging from the arrangement? It is the perfect touch. Also, I am unable to locate the pin in the photos. Where should I find the symbol? Thank you for this beautiful table!
Hi Susan! I’m so glad you like it! The berries are pink peppercorns. I agree they are so fun – they’re one of my favorites! About the Pinterest buttons, usually if you hover over the picture, the pin icon appears in the upper left. I’ve seen this problem before though. It often has something to do with your browser. I just googled to see if I could find an answer, but didn’t come up with anything right away. The info’s got to be out there somewhere though. If I come up with anything later, I’ll let you know but good luck in the meantime! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Thank you very much. Pink peppercorns! I’ll be on the lookout for them for future arrangements. I always like something beautiful draping down from my centerpiece. It gives it a softer look, I think. Happy Forth of July!
You too! 🙂
Simply stunning ladies, and as you say, fit for royalty! Love the purple with the green; the setting is gorgeous and must be so inspiring. Beautiful! As an aside, I’m curious as to how everyone is faring in the midst of the heat dome in the PNW? Its absolutely suffocating here in Calgary lol…
Kim you are so sweet – I’m so glad you like it! We’ve had a tough couple days with the heat, but it’s better now and even rained a bit last night! I bet you’re just as hot if not worse being more in the middle of the country. The weather sure is weird these days! Thanks for checking in, and take care up there!
Such a gorgeous table and the colors are divine. So setting is beyond beautiful too!
Hi Denise! Aren’t those colors great together? I would never have thought to do purple, but Renae’s wisteria was a total inspiration! I’m so glad you like it. I’ll have to make a trip to DC and we can set one in your pavilion someday! 🙂
LOVE PURPLE & GREEN!
I NEED TO DO A ROOM WITH JUST THOSE COLORS!
BEAUTIFUL TABLE……………XX
Contessa! Purple and green are a perfect combination for you! Too bad we couldn’t have entertained you at this table – you would have reigned! 🙂 So sweet of you to stop by!
Gorgeous and so much fun to do this tablescape with you. My kind of play date. Hugs and blessings to you.
HA – it totally was!! Next time, we can actually have the party to go along with it! Happy Tuesday my friend!
So gorgeous Barbara! Definitely fit for royalty! Renae’s pavilion is such a beautiful place to entertain, how much fun to be able to play with her there!
Absolutely! I love that pavilion almost as much as I love hanging out with Renae! So glad you like it Jenna. Thanks so much for stopping over, and Happy Tuesday!
Love this royality tablescape. It is elegant yet, no tablecloth or place mats. That’s the beauty of certan kinds of table tops.
You are so right Linda – that table is gorgeous all by itself! I’m inspired to find the perfect table when we finally get our backyard redone! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely summer over there!
Amazing and pinned this post! LOVE the colors, dinnerware, glassware and especially the flowers.
Thanks so much for pinning, Nancy! I loved the colors too. Looks like your site is about colors – I’ll hop over and take a look. So glad you stopped by!
Yes, my site Colors 4 Health is the place where colors and a healthy lifestyle intersect. Would love for you to visit and get social with me.
I popped over for one post and can’t wait to go back for more! I’ll track you down on IG &/or Pinterest too! 🙂
