Summer is the perfect time of year to throw a dinner party. The weather is sunny and warm, the evenings are longer, the food is light and fresh, and who can turn down a fruity cocktail or mocktail? While these are all important aspects of a Summer soirée, it's the decor that really sets the tone for the evening. Pretty florals, bright colours, tropical-inspired motifs, and mood lighting are essential. Whether you're holding a casual outdoor event with self-serve finger foods or a more formal sit-down gathering, these perfect pieces will take your Summer dinner party from basic to unforgettable.
