One of the unexpected side effects of 2020 is our rediscovery of the outdoors. Even as the weather cools (a welcome change for us in Florida), we continue to seek outdoor venues to gather for meals and special moments with family and friends. As many families look to Thanksgiving celebrations, outdoor gatherings provide a safe option for multiple generations to celebrate together.
Outdoors does not need to mean casual. Set a holiday table every bit as stylish as your dining room with ultra glamorous stemware made for patio dining. Acrylic goblets and pitchers from Mario Luca Giusti are made in Italy and offer old world style in a shatterproof form. With 9 colors to choose from including festive red, ruby and amber, they are the perfect accent for a formal fresh air holiday.
Set a rustic table exploding with color and incorporating natural accents. Embrace family history by mixing and matching heirloom plates and flatware, paired with Calaisio woven placemats and chargers. Dress up the matching glass topped woven tray with abundant fruit and cheese for a statement welcome platter.
For tabletop decor, this is the ideal time to use a table runner to create a seasonal palate on any outdoor table material. Wood, concrete, or wrought iron all benefit from a linear canvas for votive, candlesticks and fall florals. For warm autumn colors try Deborah Rhodes reversable linen table runner or for a formal wow factor, opt for the intricately jeweled Regent table runner from Kim Seybert.
