Enjoy Entertaining in the Great Outdoors With These Spring Must-Haves

It’s time to set the table for spring. The new season of sunshine and blue skies means outdoor entertaining is in and we’re serving up the best and brightest in tableware, accessories, grills and décor for every occasion.

Spring ushers in a wealth of celebrations such as Mother’s Day, graduation, wedding showers and backyard birthdays. Create the perfect tablescape with pretty pastels, layerable linens and dishware that’s practical for outdoor dining.

Our design experts always have a vision or theme in mind when setting the table, and we suggest you should too. Mixing colors and textures creates a vibrant and engaging dining destination, so look for dishes, cups and platters with the same motif, such as florals or stripes.

Setting Up Spring

Whether you’re planning a floral fete or nautical party, we suggest Juliska’s expansive selection of tableware for outdoor entertaining. Dining outdoors in the spring (and summer) is all about ease and a lighter look and feel.

Add Juliska’s Field of Flowers cork backed placemat to the table as a foundation piece and swap out plates, bowls, cups and glasses throughout the day. The scalloped green trim and fresh florals are versatile touches we love. Feel free to add the placemats on top of a tablecloth, or let the table itself add to the texture of the look.

What are you serving? If you need salad, entrée and dessert plates, Juliska is at the ready with a variety of sizes and designs ranging from the Country Estate Seaside Collection and Berry & Thread Collection in Chambray Blue to the Juliska Iberian in Sage Green and Juliska Melamine Berry & Thread in Whitewash. The plates can be purchased individually or as a set of four.

Add those finishing and (necessary) touches with Juliska’s napkins in Iberian Sage or Marbled Pastels and elevate your al fresco sipping with Juliska’s Le Panier Acrylic Goblet. The versatile glasses accommodate everything from water to wine. The Garden Terrace Set comes with a pitcher, six glasses and a woven tote for easy serving on the patio.

Let’s talk practicality and outdoor dining. Melamine plates are sturdy and dishwasher safe, so clean up is a breeze. Juliska’s cork backed placemats are easily cleaned with a damp cloth and the variety of linens can be washed on warm in the washing machine.

Outdoor Living

While the table is the heart of outdoor party, make sure there’s plenty of comfy seating for family and friends. Watch the sunset from the comfort of a Polywood Jefferson Woven Rocker or Troutman Rocker and recline in true craftsmanship. Need chairs that go from backyard barbecue to sideline at the soccer field? GCI Outdoor foldable chairs fit the bill combining comfort, innovation, and convenience.

Spring is an excellent time to upgrade the outdoor kitchen, and for that, we turn to the Big Green Egg. The all-purpose grill ranges in size from the portable Big Green Egg MiniMax, a allowing for baking, smoking and roasting all the way up to the The XLarge Big Green Egg complete with Acacia Hardwood Table and Nest. The menu options are endless with the Big Green Egg.

Keep the party going with the Turtlebox Gen 2 a portable, waterproof speaker featuring an illuminated LED rubber control pad including Volume Control and Track Skip. The Turtlebox can also be paired with any two Gen2 Turtlebox speakers for a true surround sound experience that can last up to 25 hours.
Another festive must-have? Any of our Yeti coolers. From the portable Hopper Flip Soft Cooler to the spacious and durable Yeti Tundra 45, every event is better with a full cooler that keeps items frosty for days.
