Garden party
Perfect for special occasions alfresco, pretty linen textiles will
make your outdoor table look smart while still feeling welcoming.
For tablecloths and napkins to really treasure, try the beautiful
range from entertaining emporium Summerill & Bishop
and the collections stocked at Liberty London (H&M Home has
more budget-friendly offerings). Use proper china and glassware,
but keep the look playful. Create a gentle rainbow effect along your
table – for example, you could mix and match coloured glasses at
each place setting. Zara Home is the go-to place for tumblers, wine
glasses and jugs in suitably summery hues. For charm, add in
unexpected details, such as handwritten name cards, delicate
napkin rings and vases full of freshly picked flowers.
