Outdoor Entertaining Favorites

Though much of our backyard is being turned into a construction zone right now, outdoor entertaining is still top of mind. I cherish time spent with family and friends over a good meal and warm weather is the perfect excuse to take those meals outside! Tablescaping has become much more popular over the last few years and I do love the opportunity to make everyday moments with our people feel special.

String lights like these are a fantastic way to create ambiance at night. The glow of the globe bulbs makes your backyard feel way more intimate and inviting!

Acrylic is a great stand-in for glass while outdoor entertaining. This collection's etched pattern is timeless, elegant and versatile.

Melamine is another shatterproof material that's ideal for porch snacks and backyard dinners. I love how rustic this dinnerware looks, especially set against the background of the outdoors.

This pitcher is absolutely beautiful. The swirls make a subtle statement and I absolutely love how the design is inspired by the Amalfi Coast, where Johnny and I spent part of our honeymoon.

If you prefer acrylic drinkware that's more simple, this collection is a great option. It has no etching and cleaner edges for a more modern look, which I always appreciate.

Handwoven, natural rattan placemats have a casual warmth I love for outdoor entertaining. These come in three different colors!

These plates have the appearance of hand painted stoneware but they’re actually melamine! The soft gray-blue is a beautiful way to add incorporate color.

Gold flatware like this set is incredibly chic. The color is more of a soft champagne than yellow and of course I love the minimalist design.

Block print napkins can add amazing color and pattern to a tablescape. These come in four different colors and feel both casual and elevated!

Another way to add ambiance is with lanterns like these. During the day they make great decor and at night you can light the candles inside for a soft glow!
