Summer Entertaining Essentials with Sequins & Stripes.
Posted by on June 28, 2012
Some of my favorite bloggers are sharing their summer entertaining essentials for being a savvy hostess this season, up next in the series is the lovely Liz of Sequins & Stripes…
Hi there! It’s Liz from the fashion and style blog, Sequins & Stripes, and I am thrilled to be here today sharing some of my go-to’s for easy summer entertaining. Because the summer months tend to be crazy busy, impromptu parties are usually the easiest to throw together and the most fun to create. I like to keep a few pieces constantly stocked in my kitchen {like these pretty paper napkins, a book of cocktail recipes, and easy decor} and add a few details to make the party feel special. This summer I dream of bringing a Palm Springs inspired girls brunch to my patio in Chicago…
Design Darling mini vases // Macaroons and Sweets from my favorite local bakery // Bottomless glasses of champagne // Mrs. Lilien’s Cocktail Swatchbook // Pretty patterned napkins // Kate Spade Market Street Plates // Bamboo Flatware // Pretty Design Darling topiaries for additional decor // Society Social Fifi Chairs for seating // Colorful bistro tables // A striped umbrella to shade my guests from the summer sun
I would request that all of my guests dress in their favorite sunnies and biggest and brightest baubles, wouldn’t that be lovely? A huge thank you to Kate for having me today! Happy summertime to everyone!
Oh how I love Liz! And I equally love her Summer soiree!
This is adorable and I love seeing a few Design Darling goodies in the mix! I say we make this summer soirée a reality asap
LOVE the combo of that umbrella, those chairs, and that table! Adorable.
I’ve got my baubles ready….I want to come to this soiree!!
Love this post, Liz! Perfectly summery
That Kate Spade china is one of my favorite patterns and goes perfectly with all the other details you’ve added. I must, must get my hands on the Mrs. Lilien book – so much fun to be had! Great post, lady!! xoxoxo
Ah, thanks for making me wish I could get a good macaroon around here!
Great picks! I love the striped umbrella!
