Summer is the perfect reason to take the party outdoors. Whether it’s a family barbecue or a more intimate, relaxed picnic – dining al fresco makes parties and gatherings much more exciting. With sunshine, fresh air and more room to mingle, your summer hosting deserves an upgrade – starting with stylish glassware.

1. Mix and match glassware styles
Create a point of visual interest with mismatched glassware styles. Bring a nostalgic charm to your table with a combination of tumblers, dessert dishes, wine glasses and cocktail glasses. Mix patterns and colours for a bold, eclectic look and to engage your guests!
The Aurora range comes as a varied, colourful glassware set and allows your guests to pick their favourite colour!
2. Create a DIY drinks and glassware station
Once you have a varied selection of glassware, set up a dedicated area for guests to choose their own. A self-serve area with garnishes, various glassware and drink dispensers allows the party to flow with ease. It also creates a casual, sophisticated element that allows the guests to gather for conversation and even frees up some time to mingle with your guests.
The Beaufort pitcher and Hollywood Nibble and Dip set are ideal for summer drinks and perfect for allowing guests to help themselves.
3. Accessorise summer glassware with colours and accessories
Go beyond the glassware alone and accessorise! Bring in colour and variation with napkins, reusable straws and even ribbons tied around glass stems. This creates a stylish element but also helps guests remember what drink belongs to them. Choose a colour palette that complements your existing summer glassware for a finished feel.
