Woven Serving Tray
A pitcher of ice cold, homemade lemonade served on this beautiful woven tray would be just the thing for any lazy, summer afternoon on the porch.
Scalloped Melamine Plates
Melamine plates are a perfect marriage of beauty and practicality. It feels like the best of both worlds to be able to serve your guests on beautiful plates while also not worrying about accidentally shattering them. These scalloped plates are the perfect addition to your al fresco dining experience.
Table In A Bag
How clever is this portable table from Crate & Barrel? Its versatility enables you to have an outdoor dining experience just about anywhere and it folds up in its own compact carrying case to make transporting it so simple. We especially love the idea of placing several of them together to create a casual, long dining table for larger outdoor gatherings.
Embroidered Cocktail Napkins
First off, we love the idea of reusable cocktail napkins. The less waste after hosting a gathering, the better! Just throw them in the wash to be used again. Secondly, how quirky are these embroidered designs? They are a fun, unexpected surprise for your guests to enjoy as they sip on their drinks.
Tiered Beverage Tub
If you are hosting a larger gathering this summer, or even a smaller, more refined event, this tiered beverage tub is an elegant alternative to serving drinks in a cooler.
Marble and Wood Cheese Board
The wonderful thing about a serving board is that it can be used to display just about anything. Don’t feel limited to cheese and crackers, especially in the summertime when there is an abundance of wonderful produce in season.
Citrus Tablecloth
How darling is this Zara Home tablecloth? It almost feels nostalgic to us, like having a tranquil summer lunch at grandmother’s country home. The perfect finishing touch to any outdoor dining table.
