Carlotta + Gee
As the weather warms and we edge closer to the end of another year, balmy nights call for outdoor entertaining, and what better way to herald in the silly season than with a dolce vita-style dinner party. After all, nothing says holiday at home like an Italian-inspired tablescape, and the beauty of bringing the magic of the Mediterranean to your dining space lies in its rustic simplicity.
Think rich, earth-inspired colours with punches of citrus and ochre, mixed with natural textures like linen or cotton – anything goes when it comes to setting the table Italian-style.
Pair your favourite cocktail glasses with tumblers in a contrasting colour, or lay a set of mismatched plates for some added charm. Or, why not try one of this year’s biggest tabletop trends and turn your produce into an abundant centrepiece using artichokes, tomatoes or grapes en-masse for a focal point that’ll keep your guests talking .
Embrace that aperitivo hour energy with everything you need to host a fabulous dolce vita dinner party.
