Outdoor Dinner Party Planning for Summer

Sofia Hand-Painted Stoneware Platter

This hand-painted platter would be the perfect serving piece for your al fresco soiree or a lovely charger for a centerpiece. Once it has had its outside-time, it would look just as lovely displayed on an open shelf or hung on a wall.

Premium Beach Umbrella

I mean, it says it in the title – this is a premium umbrella! Seriously, the bullion fringe on this navy-striped umbrella screams chic. Catch me pretending I’m at the White Lotus resort in Italy under this number… minus the drama.

The Sling Chair

Picture it: a couple of these sling chairs on your porch, frozen Pimm’s cups in hand, and the gossip is flowing into the night. If that’s not an ideal summer set-up, I don’t know what is.
