An Outdoor Dinner Party

I probably shouldn’t admit how much fun I had setting this table for these photographs. While I like to keep our table at home set, I never go THIS elaborate! I mean, we run a furniture business out of our home and have 3 dogs. Nooottt a whole lot of room for nice setups like this one! But this one was too good not to share, so keep on reading to get the links for just about everything you see in these photos!

​For those of you just here for links, scroll to the bottom of the post for a quick recap!

Most of the dishes you see in the photo are from Crate and Barrel. Dane and I registered for these items for our wedding and they’re still available!

• Crate & Barrel Marin White Dinner Plates
• Crate & Barrel Marin White Bowl
• Crate & Barrel Nattie Red Wine Glass

We wanted to go with something that was white and classic, but still had a handmade look because it reminded us of the dishes we saw while vacationing in Europe a few years ago. It was a perfect blend for us!

​Can you believe our 2nd anniversary is coming up?! Where has the time gone?! Do any of you follow the traditional anniversary gift guide? First year was paper, second year is cotton. I’m struggling real hard because all I can think of are socks. And honestly….dude has enough socks. Lol.

Maybe I could gift him new table linens like the ones we used for this table…ya know, a gift for the both of us! Haha! 

• Target Threshold White Stripe Napkins
• Target Threshold Solid Blue Placemats
• Target Threshold Kingsland Stoneware Dinner Plate

The striped napkins I just picked up at Target. My favorite store! They are so classic and were so inexpensive! What I love about these fabric napkins most is that they’re washable. I would just be careful with red sauces and red wine.  ..Thanks Captain Obvious, right?

The navy plates were a Christmas gift from my mom. She always buys me the cutest things for Christmas..she gets me.  Although it doesn’t look like they’re still available on their website, here are a few good options that are pretty similar.

For any outdoor dinner, this caddy is a MUST! It’s great for holding the silverware extras (in case you drop one) and holds any extra napkins without having to worry about them blowing away. 

• Crate & Barrel Olympic Flatware Place Settings
• Crate & Barrel Artesia Honey Rattan Flatware Caddy 

​Okay, that's it! Thanks so much for hanging out for a bit and shopping with us!
