Hosting the Ultimate Summer Get-Together

Long summer days are perfect for bringing people together. Whether it’s a casual brunch or an elegant dinner party, hosting a summer get-together is all about creating an inviting atmosphere where memories are made.

 

Start with a Thoughtful Tablescape

Your table sets the tone for the entire gathering. Layer artisanal table runners with handcrafted ceramic serving pieces for a polished yet relaxed vibe. Our Natural Mendong Table Runner adds texture and charm, serving as the ideal backdrop for your summer feast.

Paired with some Natural Raffia Coasters, and some fresh blooms in the middle, the mixture of textures will add depth and draw your guests in.

 

Highlight Functional Elegance

Choose pieces that are both practical and beautiful. A handcrafted teak bowl can serve as a centrepiece or a stylish olive bowl.

Functional décor helps maintain a casual yet elevated feel, keeping your guests comfortable and engaged. Think outside the box a little to add some extra memorable pieces that still serve a purpose - like iced tea or cocktails served in tropical-themed mugs

 

Keep It Simple but Meaningful

Focus on a few standout décor items, like brass or ceramic serving spoons, or some nature-inspired placemats like our Cowrie Shell place settings

If your dinner party is outdoors and in the evening, consider some soft linen throws for your guests if the temperature drops a little. These key pieces can go a long way in setting the mood.

Pair your pieces with simple fairy lights or natural greenery for added ambiance.

 

Summer hosting is about connection. By adding thoughtful, artisan touches to your space, you can create an environment that makes every guest feel welcome.
