There are beautiful tablescapes, and then there are beautiful tablescapes that seem to go on forever. And when the latter comes complete with incredible views, good wine, and a freshly prepared meal, you know you’ve nailed outdoor entertaining in the spring. Long tables are a favorite for weddings and events featuring family-style meals… It creates an intimate, communal vibe no matter the guest count. Think about it: one table for *all* your guests. Now that IS pretty dreamy.
