Get Ready For Picnics And Alfresco Dining With Talulah And Hess

Early summer is the perfect time for alfresco dining with family and friends.

The term “alfresco” is Italian for “open air.” Typically it refers to a more laid-back meal with loved ones. The setting is an essential part of outdoor dining, though hosts can create the mood through menu choices, dinnerware, and location. Are you hosting an intimate backyard dinner party or staying casual with a beautiful picnic at White Rock Lake?

Whether you’re serving a dozen guests or enjoying a romantic date night for two, make the most of the warmer season by taking it outside.

Picnic Baskets

Picnic baskets are making a comeback and for a good reason. Inside these beautiful wicker baskets are everything you need for a charming picnic. You’ll find space for up to two bottles, a cutting board with a knife, cloth napkins, and even champagne flutes — an upscale grab-and-go option for lakeside dining at a moment’s notice.

Just add your favorite wine and cheeses!

Intimate Spaces

Set the scene for alfresco dining by creating a beautiful space. An intimate table styled with beautiful serving pieces, bright florals, and flickering candlelight creates instant ambiance while the outdoor setting allows nature’s beauty to shine.

Style + Function

When setting the table, stay stylish yet functional with luxury melamine and resin serving pieces. Crisp white melamine offers the look of porcelain with the durability you need for outdoor entertaining, and it will last for many seasons.

Cheers to Summer

Cocktails taste better when poured into a beautiful glass. Stunning synthetic crystal glassware offers the sparkle of crystal with the practicality of acrylic, perfect for poolside drinks and strolls through the garden. You’ll feel like you’re sipping cocktails on a yacht from the comfort of home.

Turn up The Ambiance

Thoughtful details are the final touch to creating the ambiance for your alfresco dining experience.

A faux floral centerpiece moves easily from indoors to out while standing up to the Texas heat. As the sun begins to set, add a soft glow to the scene with candlelight. Electronic LED taper and pillar candles offer the look and warmth of an actual candle, without the risk of an open flame. They are perfect for those windy North Texas evenings.

There is so much to love about alfresco dining during the warm summer months. You can gaze at the stars, enjoy fresh air and the nature around you. Make the most of your alfesco dining experience, create meaningful moments with loved ones, and don’t forget the SPF!
