Add color with food.
Don’t fret about trying to create the perfect outdoor buffet display with servingware, napkins and decorations in the right hues—let your food do the work. A platter of brightly colored veggies, such as tomatoes, carrots, beets, beans and radishes, doubles as a bright buffet decoration.
Use clear drink pitchers.
Show off fancy party drinks, such as fruit-infused water or lemonade, in clear pitchers. Party guests will immediately see their drink options, and the fruit and herbs in the pitchers will add pops of color to your outdoor buffet table spread.
