Stylish Summer Dinner Party in 5 Minutes or Less

July 15, 2021
  • Share

I’m sure I’m not the only person who has to throw together last minute summer dinner parties. Due to my busy schedule, I don’t have the time to run around Beverly Hills to shop for table decor. As much as I would love to find intricate pieces and fun accessories, it’s not always realistic. I decided to challenge myself to see if I can throw together a stylish summer dinner party in 5 minutes or less. And guess what? I did it! Yes, it’s actually doable.

My best advice is to order everything from one store. That way it’s easy to pull items from one location. I ordered many cute and affordable items from Walmart Home’s citrus summer collection. The yellow pillows, lemon pattered table cloth, and pops of aquafrom the plates are the perfect combination. The key to creating a perfect tablescape is all about balance. The finishing touch was the bowl of fruit to tie in the yellow from the table cloth.

I adore the way this table came together. It’s so simple and colorful. The aqua plates go so well with the seat cushions that I had made for my vintage outdoor dining chairs. I wish I could have said it was planned but it wasn’t. Anyway I can throw in a pop of aqua I will! Walmart Home has a great selection of table decor and accessories. I received my package two days after I placed the order, which happened to be on the day of my dinner party. The 5 minute challenge worked out well and I might have to do it again. Let me know what you think in the comments.

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.
