While the spaces in our first glance at dining alfresco were simple and clean-lined, the following are soft and lush garden settings.
I love the metal elements prevalent in the majority of these photos, as well as the romantic lighting that appears in a number of the spaces. These areas wouldn't be quite complete either without the surrounding rich greenery that plays a significant role in completing the look.

DominoThese dining areas seem as equally suited for afternoon tea as for intimate dinner parties, and I can't say I'd be disappointed to indulge in either type of gathering in these beautiful settings.
Still ahead is the third part our dining alfresco installment with a look at more eclectic outdoor dining spaces.

Oh my...the chandeliers hanging from the trees take my breath away!
Saved the best for last!!! Lush!!!!
Love the table with the sheer skirt .. .
oooh, love the martha stewart yellow banquette one. i'm a sucker for dining on benches. pam
am I seeing things or is there a crystal chandelier hung from a tree and tied to the back of a chair in that first photo? I hope it's real, because I LOVE it!
someday when i have a yard one of the first things id like to do is hang a chandelier from the trees. an exterior grade chandelier i suppose haha
All such stunning spaces! I can see myself and a few friends having dinner in any of those cozy areas.
I just posted an outdoor party I hosted this past weekend. These pictures put my backyard BBQ to shame! They are simply STUNNING!
Oh, I love eating outside. In fact, I think I have dragged Jon to every patio restaurant in Houston. My favorite is Backstreet Cafe. I prefer your dining alfresco part II because it looks like the perfect spot for a tea party. I love tea!
Hope you are having a good week, Courtney.

These are pretty! I now have the urge to host an outdoor summer party...now if only I had a backyard... :)
Delicious pictures thanks Courtney, very summery! Have a nice weekend. Jayne
Love that first shot from Domino. Sigh. I miss it.
Love them all!!!
How wonderful would it be to dine in one of those spaces? I love pictures like the first one where there is a big chandelier outside.
These are wonderful images - I live in Australia and our climate lends itself beautifully to alfresco dining. (Courtney, I've got quite a few outdoor dining images on my blog as well. If it would help your 3rd installment post, I would be more than happy for you to use any of them).
Since I love your blog & love to learn more about you...tag your it!! Come & see....
Oh eating outdoors is so beautiful. Love, love, love the first image with the outdoor chandelier!
There's no tablescape like an outdoors one!
Oh i love this post - there is something so wonderful about eating outdoors - extra points for candlelight!
That Martha with the yellow has me in another world! I now want to spiff up our upstairs roof area pronto!!! But we're waiting to find the right stuff for up there. Waiting is always the hardest part.
...maybe if I just print one of these photos out large enough and plaster it across my outdoor wall.....
