However, let's not forget the good news: SUMMER IS HERE! My favorite summer events are ones at home with friends and family - gathering for good food, cold drinks and late nights on the porch by candlelight. One of my favorite designs for a backyard soiree is vintage chic using fun, bright colors... I've used items from Anthropologie for my inspiration board below showcasing this style.
Anthropologie is a fantastic place to buy inexpensive, high-impact tablewares for any event - including the most formal gatherings. Check there for fun items to enhance tables, buffets, chairs and lighting.
