The Basics

Sleek, sturdy, weather–resistant furniture like our Chesapeake Collection makes an ideal backdrop for an outdoor gathering. Generously sized to seat a crowd, our extending dining table pairs beautifully with our Stackable Chairs. Water–resistant outdoor pillows in vibrant red add an extra layer of comfort for guests lingering at the table or unwinding by the lake.

dishware

Classic white dinnerware makes an elegant, eco–friendly alternative to paper plates. We've layered our Gabriella dishes with our stoneware BBQ Stripe Collection as a playful but polished backdrop for burgers, fries and corn–on–the–cob. Our Red Rope Chargers add a nautical touch to each setting, and durable melamine flatware in bright red lends a cheerful pop of color.

accessories

Mix and match napkins in graphic gingham and American flag patterns — and keep plenty of extras close at hand with a whimsical napkin holder modeled after an Adirondack Chair. Give condiments the special treatment in our vintage–inspired General Store containers. Coordinating wooden servers can be used for dishing out salad, and pronged ceramic skewers make eating corn–on–the–cob easy and mess–free.

Naturally lightweight and weather–resistant, our Galvanized Collection is just right for a casual outdoor get together like this one. The hardworking trays, caddies, Rolling Wagon and Party Bucket easily store everything from glassware and accessories to a party's worth of beverages on ice. For a fun and nostalgic touch, fill the three–tiered stand with sand, then stack it full of old–fashioned shaved–ice desserts in paper cones as we have here — kids and grownups alike will be sure to thank you. You can also try using small, sand–filled galvanized pails for corralling sparklers, keeping them handy for guests to light after sunset.
