Summer is in full swing! We love summer because there are so many possibilities to entertain; pool parties, beach parties, BBQ's or simply hanging out with friends for drinks and light snacks on your patio or porch.

Recently we were featured on the blog Decor Gold for a piece on summer entertaining. This piece was a collaboration with seven other bloggers also sharing their ideas on entertaining. Each used the hashtag BloggersPatioParty to share on Instagram.

Creating your own patio party can be fun! Keep the group small and intimate, choose easy foods that celebrate the season like a caprese salad, grilled salmon, fresh fruits, cheese and crackers. Think about the pieces you already own and how you can incorporate new pieces that help set the tone but work with what you have.

The Venezia Collection

Our Venezia Collection mixes well with white, creams and blues and gives a coastal feel to the gathering.

Tuscan / Tesoro / Peltro Salad Plate

Our Tuscan, Tesoro and other pewter combination collections are simple yet stunning! Perfect to mix with solid white collections and just a piece or two add a pop of contrast and beauty to the table.

Bella Bianca

You can't go wrong with all white like our Bella Bianca. It mixes in beautifully and has wonderful serving pieces that make a statement!
