The spirit of the summer table is freshness: light-colored tablecloths, linen textures, and natural tones rest the eyes in the heat and bring a sense of coolness to the table. Instead of heavy decorations, even just a single glass pitcher of fresh greens or seasonal fruit is enough to liven up the summer table.
Food safety matters more in the heat: serving cold mezes on a bed of ice and keeping butter and dairy products in the shade preserves freshness. Keeping plenty of iced water, lemonade, and ayran ready in pitchers is essential for long summer meals.
Tips
Small but effective touches

Keep butter, dairy, and desserts in the shade, not in direct sun.
Keep iced water, lemonade, and ayran ready on the table in a pitcher.
Secure the napkin outdoors with a weight or under a fork.
