A Farewell to Summer Tablescape: Charcuterie Picnic on the Beach

I’ve been seeing a little trend of Charcuterie tables going around on instagram, which actually stemmed from when Sazan made one back in January 2019 (how genius?! A dinner party without the cooking!). Then everyone else started to follow. And I wanted to make one too LOL. But then I also wanted to take August’s tablescape a bit of a different direction since it was the last month of summer. So I took it to the beach. I thought it would be the perfect place to bid summer farewell and enjoy the salty air and the ocean breeze one last time.

Here’s what I packed: 

Blankets for a more cozy vibe.
Two of these tables to set up the cheese & crackers.
Silk tablecloth.
Flower crown for a little extra flair.
Throw pillows.
Candles for romance (white ones, gold ones).
Plates, napkins, champagne glasses.
Cheese knives (one, two, three).
Drinks were Elderflower Lemonade & Blood Orange Soda from Whole Foods (our faves!)
Assortment of crackers.
Assortment of cheeses (our faves are goat cheese – flavored & original – and brie).
Assortment of deli meats.
Fresh fruits.
Dried fruits.
Jam.
Tzatziki dip.
Assortment of desserts (macarons, croissants, and others).
Dessert stand.

Now you definitely don’t need this much stuff for a charcuterie dinner. Filling up just a cheese board with some crackers & cheese is going to be plenty if it’s just the two of you. On the “cooking” highlight on my instagram, I shared a small little cheeseboard I made for a girls night at home if you’re interested in checking that out.

Charming and I enjoyed a gorgeous little sunset dinner that evening.
So romantic, so cute, so cozy, and super simple to do yet feels like a fancy date.
