The Basic: 12 Last-Minute Summer Table Setting Accessories

July 26, 2022
  • Share

With high summer comes warm weather, outdoor living, and fun gatherings with friends and family (high summer means the middle of summer). Sometimes those gatherings can be sprung on you last minute. Friends come over and the next thing you know is that you’re serving drinks and ordering food from your favorite local spot. Yes…this might have happened to me on a few occasions. So in case, you’re put in a similar situation this summer… I’m sharing some of my go-to tips. Here are my favorite last-minute summer table accessories that you need in your home. And even some that I have in my shopping cart!

My table setting details.

Every table setting needs a neutral plate. The classic plain white dish will never go out of style. You can dress up the table with pattern napkins. The black and white checkered napkins are my go-to.  I always keep it simple. Less is more when it comes to a table.

My centerpieces.

Maybe you already have all of the table-setting staples, but you feel like it’s missing something? Flowers are always an easy way to enhance a table. You can add pops of color with a fresh arrangement or go for a minimally chic aesthetic with some greenery. An easy trick to always having the perfect centerpieces is buying faux botanicals and house plants. You can easily store them in a container and pull them out when you need them.

Good company will always take a good social gathering to a great social gathering. Don’t stress yourself over having the “perfect” table setting. You set the tone for the party. So enjoy it!

Summer is one of my favorite seasons. Do I say that about every season? The energy during the summertime just feels different. Everyone is happier and more carefree. Maybe, it’s because the weather is nicer and more people are traveling! A change of scenery is always a great way to refresh. Take a walk outside or go on a casual summer picnic.  Also, summer dresses and sandals are a cute perk too! I hope this blog was helpful for your next last-minute dinner party!

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!
