• Use real plates and silverware. Incorporate
  vintage or rustic elements a dresser can double
  as a bar, wine bottles can serve as candlestick
  holders.
• Create nice floral arrangements to freshen up
  tabletops. Remember, when it comes to elegance,
  simplicity is your friend.

3

• When the sun comes out, so do the bathing suits.
  Take advantage of the summer heat by throwing a
  backyard pool party with a beach theme. Water
  will bring out the fun, and vibrant colors will
  bring out the energy. Consider moving to a hot
  tub as the chill of night approaches.

4

• Embrace more creative and delectable foods. From
  eggplant rolls to Pollo al Mattone, there are
  plenty of ways to mix it up.
• Gourmet Neapolitan or Margherita pizzas cooked to
  crisp and smoky perfection on an outdoor pizza
  oven can add a deliciously elegant touch and show
  youre thinking beyond the conventional.

5

• Draw inspiration from your surroundings, whether
  it be the natural hues of a lush garden or the
  vibrant colors of a tropical island. A rustic
  setting might benefit from simple white string
  lights while a more tropical setting may call for
  colorful party lights or even paper lanterns.

6

• Deck your patio with comfortable and stylish
  furniture. Sofas, vintage tables, and large deck
  chairs can add the right amount of flair and
  coziness.
• If youre working on a budget, paint your fold-up
  chairs to make them fun and presentable.
• If you want to step it up a notch, use high-end
  furniture with an indoor look to boost the
  elegance factor.

7

• Summer is the perfect season for light fare, from
  bite-sized appetizers to grilled vegetables. Try
  something like fresh fish baked in a cast-iron
  skillet if you want to keep it healthy without
  sacrificing taste or sending your guests away
  hungry.

8

• A bash isnt a bash without drinks. Decide
  whether you want to stock a full bar or stick
  with one drink to keep it simple and economical.
  If you do limit your options, choose a drink that
  fits the theme of the party wine for a chic
  gathering, beer for an informal barbecue, or a
  custom cocktail for almost any party.

9

• A crackling fire is ideal for summer evenings
  when the temperatures drop and the conversation
  really gets going. Theres nothing quite like
  gathering around the fire for an evening of food
  and friendship on a summers evening. Bring out
  the fire pit, or better yet, try an outdoor oven
  to heighten the social and culinary experience.
