SUMMER OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING

It’s alfresco season and to kick it off, I’m sharing my favorite essentials for summer outdoor entertaining. Plus, tips for creating the ideal atmosphere for lounging, dining, and entertaining this season!

Summer is the perfect time for warm weather get-togethers with friends and family. And there’s something so special about gathering in our own backyard that always creates the fondest memories. Over the past year we’ve been working on updating our curb appeal and outdoor space. Now that we have finally finished each space on our to-do list, we can’t wait to host our friends and family for a true summer outdoor entertaining experience.

AROUND THE TABLE

A place to perch and have your morning coffee or gather around for dinner with family and friends. Designating a dining space is a cornerstone of successful summer outdoor entertaining. Below are some of my favorite indoor-outdoor dining tables and chairs. Plus, outdoor-friendly serving accessories + table decor to set the scene.

SIT + RELAX

I love having a place to settle in for conversations on the porch or an cool summer evening around the fire. I love this wicker lounge furniture here to add a sunny, natural element to any outdoor space. And once you’ve found the right furniture, it’s all about the details. Like outdoor lanterns, pots and planters, etc. Don’t forget to keep the bugs away – these citronella sticks are great!

LAWN GAMES + LEISURE

My family and I love to play lawn games outside during the warmer months, like bocce ball. Here’s a collection of fun outdoor games to try this season – for all ages!
