Seasonal Entertaining:Our Top Tips
01. Mix, Don't Match
Our collections are designed to complement each other. Don't be afraid to mix the daisy plates with strawberry ones for an eclectic but cohesive look.
02. Consider the Timing
For brunches, embrace bright light with colourful glassware like our Multi-Dot collection. For evening gatherings, incorporate elegant tableware like our Speckled White dinner plates.
03. Create Stations
Rather than crowding the table, set up a dedicated beverage station featuring our handmade glass pitcher and colourful glasses, allowing guests to help themselves.
04. Embrace Seasonality
Let the season guide your menu and decor. Fresh flowers, local produce, and seasonal herbs make for both beautiful decor and delicious additions to your menu.
05. Don't Forget the Details
Small touches matter. Consider placing a small bud vase with a single bloom at each place setting or using seasonal fruits as place card holders.
Make It Yours
Whether you're hosting an intimate brunch for close friends or a larger evening soirée, our spring/summer collection offers endless possibilities for creating tablescapes that reflect your personal style while delighting your guests. The joy of entertaining isn't just in the food, it's in creating an atmosphere where memories are made, conversations flow, and connections deepen.
