Guest Groups: Ready for Spring!

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.

Amazon

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.

Crate&Barrel

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.

Crate&Barrel

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.

Crate&Barrel

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!
