Spring is nearly here and using its arrival comes more days, the return of barbecuing outside and the opportunity to host dinner parties under the stars. Here are a few of my favorite finds in fresh, spring colours and some of my outdoor entertaining must-haves for each hostess. — Morgan from Pepper Design Blog

Chickadee Green Plate at Dinner Plates – $8.95
I love the gorgeous illustration on this plate also could put it with a chopped yellow, kelly green or peacock blue dinner plate for a dinner party or luncheon. This adorable piece may work as both a dessert or salad plate.

Andros Green Melamine Dinner Plate – $4.95
Melamine is a superb way to glam up outdoor barbecues. When buying melamine dinnerware, I suggest sticking with a solid color and spicing up distinct occasions with patterned napkins and tablecloths.

Interesting with Caspari 13-inch Rattan Charger – $15
I love these chargers. The rattan is really versatile and easy to match with any dinner party table setting. The neutral color would happily pair with a simple table runner instead of a tablecloth.

Jelli Flatware – $2.95
The translucent green handle on this kind of flatware provides a playful statement into a contemporary family’s kitchen. The jelly or rubberized stems are a fun alternative to your everyday table setting!
Anthropologie
Balloon White Wine Glass – $16
These wine glasses are a gorgeous alternative to your usual clear glass version. The blue blue is stunning! I imagine they look like a beautiful piece of artwork lined up on a pub shelf.
Anthropologie
Raised Spirals Juice Glass – $10
I am a huge fan of these watercolor juice glasses. I love the bright, cheery colours, be it to get OJ in the morning or water glasses in a dinner party. The subtle spiral is a gorgeous detail and shouts of spring!

Pine Cone Hill Madeline Gold Napkin Set of 4 – $48
I love a bright and cheery napkin! What an instantaneous way to light up a dining table, indoor or out. The contemporary floral outline is refreshing and pretty and the vivid color pairs well with a spring or summer palette.

Pine Cone Hill Pleated Linen Natural Placemat – $98
A classic linen placemat is a very great way to construct a tablescape — incorporate a variety of colours and style through different layers and utilize for occasions again and again. I love the pleated detail!
Etsy
Queen Ann Table Runner Embroidered Linen by Kain Kain – $30
This simple Queen Anne table runner has a playful and contemporary print at a neutral white and green. It would look lovely year-round, but is especially perfect for the coming of spring.

Slouch Vase – $19.95
The hints of green, almost as if it’s peeking out at you, and unique shape are what initially attracted me to this particular vase. I really like the contrast of this bright white ceramic and the bright green glaze within. It would make a lovely centerpiece vase to get a fresh fragrance of spring flowers! A trio lined up down the middle of a table could be divine.
Urban Home
Loma Vista Dining Table – $499
The rustic feel of the table adds a classic vibe into a room and the price is amazing for a dining table that will certainly hold eight. I’d pair a farmhouse dining table like this one with bistro or Parisian side seats in saturated colours.
Crate&Barrel
Felix Green Side Chair – $89.95
These side chairs are a fun way to introduce color into a breakfast nook or dining space. I love the bold fuchsia, but this green is a bright and bold shade that falls within my color safety net.
Clayton Gray Home
Acid Palm Porcelain Coasters – $68
I love the color palette and playful designs of these Jonathan Adler coasters. I’d let them play double duty as appetizer dishes or coffee cup saucers to add a little variety when entertaining.

Yellow Watering Can – $29.95
Gardening is a cheery chore using a sunshine-yellow watering can! I’d leave this man in full view on the terrace as a helpful reminder to give my flowering plants some love.
Crate&Barrel
Lilla Small Purple Planter – $7.95
I really like the light purple of the terracotta pot. It is a gorgeous way to bring vivid colors on the patio or front porch long before the first blossoms of spring show themselves.
Urban Home
Tickle Green – $49.99
The vivid and bold pattern on this pillow makes it an attractive addition. Really like the plum and sage color palette! The simplest way to combine up a room is by adding new throw pillows with a palette or design for the summer season — even on outdoor furniture and benches.
Target
Flameless Votive Candle – $16
Opt for flameless candles for an outdoor dinner party tablesetting to add the perfect glow for your visitors. I really like the natural look and soft flicker of these votives. Plus, no fire risk? That is a great investment.
Target
Smith & Hawken® Premium Quality Copper Big Cauldron Fire Bowl – $399
Stay toasty warm this summer with an outdoor fire pit and a that is quite attractive also. I can not think of a better way to finish an outdoor dinner party than with s’mores kits, soft blankets and good fireside conversation.
Target
Steak Branding Iron Gift Set – $59.99
Nothing says spring quite like the comeback of outdoor grilling. Celebrate your dinner with infrequent, moderate and nicely branding tools for easy organization at an outdoor party.
Target
10-Bulb Steel Lantern String Lights – $24.99
Set the mood outside with finely styled chain lights for a dinner party under the stars or barbecuing in the day. I love these small figurines. The contemporary form and oil-rubbed bronze shade gives them quite the contemporary glow!
