I really loved this video and all the ideas. I love to entertain also and more now in spring and summer. I live in Los Angeles and I have a huge back yard. I recently bought an outdoor table for 10 and the idea of the herbs for center runner table it’s great! I will use it for sure and I also will be buying the Magnolia book. Please keep more ideas coming.

[@alinay3197]

Enjoy you and your videos!!!!

[@lusabonita]

I’m so excited for your new series!! 🙌🏻

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

I like the idea for this series. You have really made a good point about why we should invite others into our home. So many times we get caught up on making it perfect that we forget it's about fellowship and blessing eachother. In this day and age when it's no longer okay to be a Christian, I love that you stand strong in your faith and you don't apologize for it. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrspenny42]

I love these videos Ashlyn! Please do more. I loved entertaining for years and then after having two kiddos close together and moving to a smaller home my entertaining mojo kind of got stolen. I also did events on the corporate level for state and city government and always enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your heart and love for hospitality. Your love for people and Jesus is infectious! ❤️

Love love! I have a HUGE planter bed full of mint in my garden so you inspired me to use some of that for a tablescape! Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas with us. Especially love your outlook on blessing others when they come into your home... such a tangible way to show others they are loved.

[@juliep.4483]

Thank you for this series! You make it feel doable!! I appreciate your sense of design - the simplicity and beauty (and affordability). You are wonderfully talented and I love that you want to share this to others. Much appreciated :)

[@toniwilkeyyoga]

Love! Really looking forward to this series :)

[@aftondearman791]

I love this!!!

[@ashleytyler1248]

Thank you so much for this video series! I used your suggestions and decorated a table for my daughter's 16th bday and it was a hit! The grapefruit was so pretty tucked on between the kraft paper wrapped herbs. The girls kept smelling the mint and basil and loved it! After the dinner party I moved the plants to our outside table and continued to admire the prettiness for the rest of the week. Even snipping here and there to add to recipes. I added a picture to my instagram @breezergirl if you'd like to see :) I love your tutorials and style! Keep it up!

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Ashley Tyler so wonderful Ashley! Sounds like the perfect celebration!

[@mollyellen88]

Amazing!! I already love your videos but this series is beyond perfect! I am planning my wedding and always go to your channel for inspiration!

[@KL123Moo]

Beautiful & Simple. This reminds me of the book by Jen Schmidt "Just open the door" ....I love hosting too.

[@gulfcoastsunset5879]

You are SO TALENTED!!! You have such lovely "taste" ;) ...amazing eye for design- SO inspiring!!!

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Stephany Gatrelle both from world market! :)

[@anneandrew1741]

wow! Please do more videos, I absolutely love this and I love your quote at the end: 8:29

[@yadirarodriguez892]

Love this

[@graceangelos6380]

I’ve been enjoying your flower arranging videos. Do you have tips for keeping arrangements fresh? In particular, how do you keep hydrangeas from drooping? How do you keep greens in wreaths and mantle displays from drying out? I know you didn’t use these in this video but didn’t know how to ask on old videos.

[@calvin1148]

What a beautiful table, so many wonderful ideas. I just heard this tip from "Nesting with Grace" that I'll pass on, if you buy a 18x18 pillow cover you should stuff it with a 20x20 cushion, it makes the pillow look full and ultra luxurious! I thought that was an awesome tip I'd never heard before. I am wondering if it is only ladies going to your dinner party? I hate to say it but I couldn't feed men the menu you suggested, they would be going to a drive thru after dinner, not enough food at all, but maybe in Cali men eat light and healthy like that? Awesome video!

[@evelynfernandez1253]

It looks lovely I have glasses like yours:) Recycled glass :)

[@AM-ru5lh]

As im sitting here eating off these exact spoons. Everytime i go i get another set. $8 at a time, i hope to have a service fir 12 plus sone extras.

[@bjohnson1149]

Someone this accomplished in event planning should know the proper placement for flatware. That being said, the color combination is beautiful and I love that budget is also considered when tablescaping.

[@andreareyes5181]

looks so beautiful and cozy! how was the flatbread? all of the food choices looked so yummy!

[@catherineanderson4755]

Yay, what a great idea for a new series, even though I know it's only new to me. :-O The table ended up BEAUTIFUL Ashlyn!

[@suesch60]

I love entertaining videos, even though i rarely do it anymore....i dont like my home anymore, i long to have all white wood, but its golden color and it depresses me..i want to sale or paint, but hubby days no, blah...someday

[@ashlyncartervlog]

[@stacylamb980]

This is so doable without breaking the bank.

[@LisaAHALL1]

Love! The colours you chose were so fresh and pretty 🙂

[@user-ei3pt3eb2j]

How do you serve the food when the table is packed with decor?

[@gulfcoastsunset5879]

I'm guessing she probably had it set up buffet style inside and let the guest serve themselves.

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Yes exactly...squeezed the cheese boards onto the table ends and the rest of the food inside to self serve :)

[@brittm1710]

I absolutely love this series! I am doing a nautical theme outside this year. I would LOVE to see you do this then too!
