Party Panache, Summer Ladies Luncheon

Summer has arrived with a bang in the South,

it is hot hot hot!

Let’s keep cool today

and have a fancy lunch inside

I have been enjoying the flower filled Painted Birdhouse

as a Summer centerpiece in the foyer

It is the perfect spot to enjoy a cool Summer luncheon…

Here is the menu of the goodies we are going to munch on!

This table is an indoor garden in full bloom

There are flowers literally all over the room!

Flowers on napkins

On glasses

And atop candlesticks

A bright happy setting with no politics!

A colorful Summer table and venue

Let’s talk about what’s on the menu!

Mimosa Muffins are mini sized bites

made with orange juice and champagne

Peach Palmer is a twist on the Arnold Palmer cocktail

It’s made with peach vodka and iced tea

You can substitute Simply Peach Juice for the vodka

for a non alcohol version

Romaine Spoons with Pear Compote are light and refreshing

BLT Skewers are like mini bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches

without the bread

Tropical Fruit Spears can be dressed up

with chopped macadamias and a drizzle of a sweet vinaigrette

Pimiento Cheese Cookies with Strawberry Jam

are a tasty sweet and savory version of cheese straws

To finish this fancy ladies luncheon,

how about Watermelon Mini Cupcakes

The cupcakes are a vibrant pink,

filled with chocolate chips mimicking watermelon seeds

and topped with green icing and sprinkles

I hope you’re having a wonderful June!

    Jenna, your table is just beautiful and perfect for a summer luncheon. It has been hot here as well with heat indexes of 107. However, today is delightful. We had a little cool down this morning. It was just in time because we were hosting a family cookout. Your menu sounds most scrumptious! Happy Summer!

  14. Sounds like a very nice luncheon Jenna! And yes, please pass the Peach Palmer:@)

  15. A marvelous event – I’m intrigued with the BLT Skewers!

  16. I love every single thing about this beautiful and delightful luncheon. Oh how I do wish I could attend! Your menu had me drooling and oh my…the delight of your table had me smiling. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
