Serving small dishes of bold seafood flavors is a great way to impress your guests with samplings of coastal cuisine. Paired with fresh herbs, you have a winning combination for a beach-inspired party.If you are looking to add a wow element to your table, classic blue and white vases are a must. Paired with hydrangeas and greenery fresh from your yard, this is a classic southern and coastal style your guests won’t forget. If you want to add an extra pop, be sure to add your fabric table runner to pull all of your pieces together.A drink station is always a must at a coastal party, white wines and clear alcohol pair perfectly with seafood. If you have time, add some elements of coastal art to your room as well.Coastal cuisine in the South, especially the Outer Banks, is all about casual dining with high style.
