Design Tips on Spring Entertaining

Unforgettable, Understated & Elegant Gatherings

As the weather warms up, we think more about entertaining friends and family Alfresco. Outdoor dining, barbeques and even picnics can be both casual and elegant as well as unforgettable...by including special serving dishes, centerpieces, linens and placemats. Set up a charcuterie board ahead of time. Use beautiful Natural Wood Charcuterie Boards to present casual spreads, cheeses and breads to make entertaining festive. Unique serving dishes like our oven-safe Mussel Serving Bowls make great center pieces that also function as a wonderful way to present a favorite casserole. Ask your guests to bring a dish. Guests enjoy bringing one of their specialties and it makes it less work for you. Use trays to carry things outdoors. The Handmade Burmese Rattan Trays come in handy and add a natural touch to any table setting. You can fill a tray with cutlery wrapped in napkins for easy casual dining.

Creating a home that gives us comfort as well as a place to share with friends and family, is one of life's great pleasures. It is what shapes us and gives us memories. Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your outdoors for entertaining. Configure your space to invite relaxation and conversation. A large dining table on the deck and comfortable seating around a fire pit will make entertaining easy. Add a colorful outdoor rug and throw pillows to make it fresh. Small details make a big impact. Add sparkle and richness with our Handmade Teak Plank Serving Tray. Plan a beverage bar to free up your time. Set out everything your guests need to help themselves...glasses, napkins, mixers, garnishes. Guests will love mixing up special cocktails at Happy Hour with the Gorgeous Shiny Brass Finish Barware Set. Presentation is everything! Each piece is beautifully made to last and your guests will love the attention to detail.
