The warm days and cool evenings of summer have arrived and we’ve taken to having happy hour, reading time, and dining outdoors again. Summer in the Hamptons is the ultimate summer luxury vibe and I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorite items for Summer 2023 outdoor tablescapes.

1. Woven Jute and Cotton Braided Placemats forgo the hassle of a tablecloth for outdoor dining and invest in outdoor placemats with pattern, and texture to add elegance and warmth to your tablescape.

2. Melamine Dish Set the last thing you want to worry about when setting your outdoor summer tablescape is breakable dishes. This melamine dish set allows you to have that high end feel with the durability that is forgiving of any potential rough handling. I prefer the classic white set and suggest pops of color be expressed in napkins, and center pieces while the classic white set accommodates changing color accents.

3. Farmhouse Linen Napkins don’t settle for paper napkins on your summer tablescape. Keep things elevated with the rich texture of linen napkins. This black and beige stripe linen napkin adds dimension and visual interest to your setting.

4. Black Stain Stainless Steel Flatware Set during the summer season, I like to have a flatware set dedicated to al fresco dining. It helps keep things in order and is an opportunity to invest in some pieces that diversify your flatware collection. This Mikasa Delano black stain flatware set compliments the black and beige tones of the summer tablescape.

5. Jute Napkin Rings fasten your linen napkins with these braided jute napkin rings. The texture really pops and it gives your tablescape a fun summer nautical vibe.

6. Modern Geometric Coasters when layering your summer tablescape you’ll want to use the functionality of coasters as an opportunity for design. These chic black coasters add a pop of interest to your tablescape.

7. Acrylic Stemless Wine Glasses when you’re enjoying an outdoor meal you don’t want to worry about breaks and the safety of your glassware—especially if you’re poolside. The acrylic stemless wine glass set allows you to relax without sacrificing style. From sparkling water to cocktails, to wine, this is the perfect vessel for outdoor beverages.

8. Flowers, the centerpiece can make or break any tablescape. Go support your local farmstands and pick up a bouquet of summer flowers to accent your table.

9. Pillar Candle Holder the design of this metal pillar candle holder is chic and summery. In addition to creating a great ambiance to your summer tablescape these pillar candle holders serve the important function of burning citronella candles to help keep bitting bugs away.

10. Summer Throw Blankets if you’re hosting an evening summer dinner, it’s always a nice idea to keep a basket of summer throw blankets or casually drape your dining chairs with them so that as the evening chill comes on guests can cozy up with a lightweight cotton throw.
