One of my favorite things to do in the summer is have friends over. We recently took on an Outdoor Spa Construction project for a very nice upgrade, and we were ready and willing to show it off and share! We already had a pool and great patio, so entertaining people outside is easy. Cleaning up outside is much easier too since there are no floors to vacuum or mop lol Having great servingware is essential. However it needs to clean easily, not be breakable, and practical. Here are some of my favorite outdoor entertaining pieces.
Speaking of enhancing your outdoor space, investing in quality fencing can further elevate both the aesthetics and functionality of your home. The right fencing not only adds privacy and security but also complements the overall design of your outdoor oasis. Choosing a reputable company like the best fencing company alpine ut has to offer ensures you get expert craftsmanship and materials that stand the test of time. Whether you opt for a classic wood fence or a modern vinyl design, a well-chosen fence can enhance the beauty and usability of your outdoor entertaining area, creating a welcoming environment for all your gatherings.
Outdoor Entertaining
Trays are always an essential item because it makes carrying things out from the kitchen into the yard so much easier. They also make everything look much more presentable when it is placed on a nice tray.
Serving bowls are also so important. You can easily make a pasta salad, fruit salad, or regular salad and put it in there and it is sure to please any guest you are having this summer. When my boys have friends over I also always use a nice big serving bowl to put tons of snacks in. What is better to do on a summer afternoon than swimming and snacking?
Now whenever I heard the word melamine I always think of something cheap and ugly. However outdoor dinner ware has come such a long way over the past few years. Target always has a huge variety of pieces that are super affordable. These you see above are just gorgeous thanks to the ruffle detail and beaded edges. They are a bit pricer but do not look like melamine at all. In fact they look like ceramic and can definitely be used year round inside your home. I actually keep my dining room table set with these since they are so beautiful.
I recently did a fun summer tablescape using some of my favorite MacKenzie Childs pieces, you can see more of that here. You can also get my recipe for my absolute favorite summer cocktail right here.
