We take taco night very serious in the Galvan household. Jose remembers growing up having tacos every week. Regardless if there was time to sit as a family or it was a grab and go because everyone was so busy, he looks back at that simple meal as a whirlwind of memories. We hope to create those memories with Cope around many meals at the table and on the run. We like to change up our recipes from time-to-time so we grabbed a shrimp taco recipe from Martha Stewart. I couldn’t stop there, I am in love with her white lanterns and wire basket.

After a trip to the local plant nursery I found some summer greenery to fill them with and it really brought the table to life. Here is my simple summer tablescape I created today for our taco night. I told you that I take it seriously!

Creating a tablescape doesn’t have to be complicated. After my nursery trip, I decided to place my findings on our dining table so the beautiful textures and green color would make the tablescape pop alongside our yummy tacos. If you don’t have time to make a trip to your local nursery, you could showcase potted herbs that you have around your home for a simple greenery tablescape. 

In my humble opinion lanterns make the simplest and easiest centerpieces. They are enough of a statement piece on their own and can be paired with so many different things for each season.
