Don’t be afraid to mix patterns like our Brandywine Napkins + Evergreen Times Tablecloth. Once you break up the patterns with your placemats and plates, it won’t feel busy. A good rule of thumb is to have your larger print as the base and layer smaller prints on top.

Tall candlesticks paired with low bowls or votives add visual interest. I also love a tiny cordial glass to accompany desert!

The rose-toned hues of our Plumeria tablecloth instantly sets a cheerful mood! Add in rattan placemats or orchid napkin rings for a natural touch of warmth.

Set the table the day before (the most fun part of all). Cram the mess into one room no one will see. Prep as much of the food and drinks in advance as you can or better yet, order takeout! Put on a great playlist to lift the mood. Ask one friend to arrive early to help welcome guests with you. Pour yourself a glass because if the host isn’t having fun, no one is!
