Today I want to share our little slice of paradise on the Alabama Gulf Coast
Our beach house is on a private island, just off Perdido Key, 1 mile from the Alabama Florida state line
We love to be here at our island getaway
This is considered a subtropical zone, so lets start this party with some tropical blooms in a fresh pineapple
The flamingos are celebrating, come join the fun!

Jenna, such a lovely post. Yes, Orange Beach is a paradise and one of my favorite places to spend a week on those sugar white sands. Love all the views from your home and the Pass when you are boating. Love the tropical setting, the pineapple and flowers make a fabulous beachy centerpiece. I love all the color. A perfect tablescape for paradise! All the food sounds wonderful too!
Thank you Emily! More and more people are discovering Orange Beach and I’m afraid it’s not quite as sleepy as it used to be, but we just stay on the boat or the island and watch the world go by!
Looks like you had fun pulling all those great colors together Jenna! Enjoy:@)
Thanks Lynn, I did have fun!!
What a delight it would be to sit at this beautiful tropical table. And… the food would be wonderful I am certain! Your menu sounds great!
I love your colors and patterns and whismy, Jenna! The flowers in the pineapple drew my eye immediately and that fushsia scarf is so lovely.
Creative and delightful! Could I have a piece of that pineapple volcano rum cake for breakfast!!!
Thank you Bonnie! I added the scarf at the last minute and loved the way it made everything pop. I wish I had a piece of that cake too, I will have to make it again soon!
Oh those blue water views and sunny skies with a Gulf breeze blowing and palms trees swaying! Love all the flamingos in their tropical attire and festive plates! The scarf added down the center of the table with your leaf runner provides the perfect pop of pink. Your menu looks delicious too! It’s always a pleasure to blog hop with you Jenna. ♥
Thank you Mary, you as well! I couldn’t resist those plates, I just love them!
The menu sounds delish – adorable table (i don’t know where you store all of your themed dishes and hand painted wares!!) I love all the colors!!
storage is tricky, I have stuff stashed everywhere 😂 thanks Patti!
Very pretty plates! I love your fruit arrangement!
thanks Jeanie!
Jenna, it is good to see the winds cooperated with you and the views are just beautiful. So many people don’t realize that our beaches in Alabama are gorgeous! I love your tropical Tablescape with the cutest flamingos dressed for the occasion.and fun plates. The flower filled pineapple is perfect for a tropical setting and those cute pineapple napkins. I am with Bonnie, send over a slice of pineapple volcano rum cake!
Yes I was worried about the wind, it was really blowing over the weekend but completely calmed down Monday. I couldn’t bear to set this table inside! Thanks Pam!
What a fun, tropical themed table, Jenna, and a wonderful menu you’ve shared, too. The pineapple filled with pretty flowers made the prettiest centerpiece. I can see why you don’t like to leave your own private resort.
Thank you Kitty, everything we need and love is right here, plus everyone loves to come visit!
Oh these beautiful happy tropical colors!!!!!!💕
thanks Jodi!
Wow, a tropical paradise…have a beautiful day, Jenna.
Thanks Sharon, sorry about your heat wave, yikes!
Bright and colorful, such a pretty table, perfect outdoor ambience!!
What a slice of heaven you’ve got! It must be super humid! My hair would revolt, but I’d love the summer heat. Your subtropical paradise tablescape is absolutely adorable. I love all the flamingos, they’re locals I take it? 😉
Thank you Ariel, yes, it’s humid, but it’s so casual, nobody bothers with their hair or make-up, and ha ha, the people can look as kooky as my flamingos!
Your little flamingoes are so fun, what a great way to get the party started! I love the bright colors and tropical fun expressed through your table styling. Your table just says “let’s have some fun” . Perfect for summertime! Thank you so much for being a part of another tablescape blog hop!
Thank you sweet Chloe!
I absolutely enjoy the tropical mix of colors and how you set the scene in your locale, Jenna. It makes me wish I was there! The HL characters are adorable (we’re soon getting a HL closer to home!). You know I love your Society6 items, they just need to start doing linens with your artwork!
Thank you Rita, your lips to Society 6’s ears! Watch out for Hobby Lobby, they have so many temptations. I will say I got the flamingos for 66% off and some new 4th of July things at 80% off!
Great minds think alike Jenna. Love your cute flamingo pals. The flowers look so pretty in the pineapple. Truly a tropical setting. Fun colors add to the theme. With your lovely pool and water at your finger tips, you must feel like paradise. What a great menu jenna. of course your food is heavenly. It would be so special to join you.
Thank you Linda, you & I are the lucky ones with beautiful pools to enjoy! Now all I need is a giant pink flamingo float like yours!
Love your flamingos Jenna….I LOVE the “hula” one! sooooo cute and using a pretty pink scarf instead of a table runner is perfect. The plates are amazing and I enjoy flowers in a pineapple and have been doing several of them this year… yours are soooo beautiful. We, who live near the water are so fortunate. Great job my friend.
Thank you Kari, I couldn’t resist the flamingos, 66% off at Hob Lob!
I love this Taste Of The Tropics tablescape and the sparkling blue cooling sea! Darling pineapple vase colorful flowers add perfect cheerfulness to this already welcoming and colorful tablescape. You most certainly have your own piece of paradise and I would never ever want to leave!
Happy Summer,
Jemma
Thank you Jemma, it is hard to leave, and we don’t very often!!
Boy, did this table ever put a big smile on my face! Those flamingos are so cute! Lucky you to have such a marvelous venue for a tropical setting. Thanks too for the recipes! Yum
Thank you Debbee, it was a lot of fun!
You did a great job with the tablescape. I adore the pineapple centerpiece! And those big palm leaves flanked around it are perfect. Everything was so colorful and fun – good job!
Jenna, I love the bright colors, the plates and napkins, and the tropical wine glasses. The flowers and fruit are perfect together. Flamingo man is hilarious.
How festive, I love all those flamingo! My fav! how far are you from Seaside Florida! I go there next month, its by the Alabama border too.
Awesome job! Love the flamingos- they’re the cutest! I like the leaves down the center and your fruit bowl. The pineapple is so perfect for the florals- I wish I would remember to use fruit like that! I have those dishes too and love them- the little glitter in the finish is unique and gives them extra flair! Your island location sounds wonderful. Seeing the palm trees in the background surely speaks of an island tropical lifestyle!
Jenna, this alfresco table looks like so much fun. The flamingos are adorable, and all of pretty color just looks so happy and cheerful. Your tropical centerpiece is gorgeous. I love Orange Beach! I dream of having a vacation home there!
Oh thank you Shannon! Yes, life is just about stress free here {except for hurricane season!} I hope your beach dreams come true!
OOOOOOOOOO Jenna, what a lovely tropical tablescape, with all my favorite things: flamingos, pineapples and the Gulf in the background. I love the centerpieces you made from the pineapple. Using the pineapple base as a vase and then using the crown for an accent in another piece. How clever. Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous, fun and colorful table ! I love those floral plates and everything else too.
Fabby
I love your tropical themed Tablescape! It is so fun & inviting! The view is stunning!
Beautiful! This gorgeous Tablescape is Featured at Merry Monday this week! Looking forward to what you’re up to next. Come on over and share!
Thank you!
