Garden parties are on the horizon.

With summer in full swing, the growing need for celebration is at an all-time high. It's time to mark your calendar for a breezy outdoor gathering, and we're here to help you make it as beautiful as possible.

By selecting the right mix of tableware and fabrics (yes, fabrics—they make perfect instant tablecloths!) you can turn an ordinary patch of grass or wrought iron table into a totally surreal setting for a social. Call it a garden party! The peak summer season begs for mixing florals and patterns to create a romantic, layered setting; if you've been watching Bridgerton, you know exactly what we're talking about. And if your backyard is nonexistent, head to the beach or the park with a few accessories in tow. Upgrade from the standard gingham picnic blankets by using gorgeously patterned fabric to add a sophisticated touch to the experience.
