Setting the scene for style doesn't have to cost much. As Donovan explains, it just takes some simple touches that appeal to all the senses. "For me, elegant outdoor dining is created through comfortable seating, soft lighting, soft music and privacy," she says. "Monochromatic color schemes, such as using only shades of green and white, result in an elegant appearance. Traditional metal seating with comfortable cushions, a glass top table and a true candle-holding candelabra hanging over that table will set the scene. All these items can be found for reasonable prices. Don't forget to look in flea markets, used-furniture stores and home-improvement centers."
