We believe your patio should do more than just catch a breeze—it should set the scene for something unforgettable. Whether it’s a citrusy brunch that lingers ‘til afternoon or a candlelit soirée that shimmers well past moonrise, we’re here to help you master the art of alfresco living. No stress. No fuss. Just effortless elegance and hosting that feels like a scene from your favorite magazine spread.
Ready to throw the kind of patio party that lives in group chats and iPhone galleries forever? From croissants to cocktails, darling—you’re covered.
✧ Scene One: The Brunch Club ✧
Sun-drenched, effortless, and quietly fabulous
Your brunch vibe? Think warm breeze, linen napkins, citrus notes in the air, and the kind of table that makes guests linger. Skip the folding chairs—this is no potluck. This is curated casual.
Here’s how to do it:
1. The Table Moment
Choose a sculptural, statement-worthy dining table—like the Delrio Outdoor Dining Table in teak with a live-edge look. Surround it with woven rope chairs or our Natural Rattan Chairs for coastal charm without kitsch.
Drape the table in a lightweight linen runner and layer in:
-
Hand-thrown ceramic plates (soft whites or seafoam glazes)
-
Colored glass tumblers (try amber or blush pink for a warm glow)
-
Gold flatware for a touch of polish without being try-hard
🕊️ Maison Pick: A Bold Pitcher filled with lemon water (or white sangria, we don’t judge).
2. A Centerpiece That Doesn’t Scream for Attention
Go low and lush: a terracotta bowl of blood oranges, a cluster of taper candles in matte holders, or a vintage fruit crate lined with garden herbs.
🌸 Bonus points: snip wildflowers from the backyard and scatter casually—editorial, but make it effortless.
3. Food that Stuns, but Doesn’t Stress
Serve things that look gorgeous even slightly messy:
-
A smoked salmon platter on a marble board
-
Mini quiches (store-bought, we’ll never tell)
-
Flaky croissants with jewel-toned jams
-
A tower of mixed berries in a footed crystal bowl
🥂 Signature Sip: A mimosa bar with fresh juices (grapefruit, blood orange, peach nectar) and a bottle or two of something bubbly chilling on ice.
✧ Scene Two: Golden Hour Soirée ✧
Twilight glamour with just enough glow and mystery
When the sun dips low, it’s time to turn up the ambience. Enter: your candlelit patio lounge, curated cocktails, and a playlist that oozes Paris rooftop energy.
1. Lounge Like You Mean It
Create cozy clusters with deep, cushioned seating—add in martini tables in travertine or bronze for drink-perching perfection.
Style with:
-
Layers of outdoor pillows in warm rust, ivory, and clay
-
A chunky knit throw for after-dark chill
-
Oversized lanterns, filled with flickering candles for mood lighting
🪩 Maison Mood: The key is softness + glow = sensual summer magic.
2. Light It Up, Beautifully
Nothing kills a vibe faster than harsh light. Instead, go:
-
String lights overhead (golden, not white—this is romance, not a warehouse)
-
Clustered hurricanes on tables
-
Wall-mounted sconces for an architectural glow
🔥 Pro Tip: Place a fire bowl or small outdoor fireplace as a focal point. It's equal parts style, warmth, and ambiance.
3. Serve Something Signature
Keep it stylish and simple:
-
Charcuterie on a carved marble slab with honeycomb, figs, and olives
-
Mini grilled halloumi skewers with mint
-
Citrus-marinated shrimp on bamboo picks
🍸 Signature Sip: A lavender gin spritz served in Mario Luca Giusti glasses, garnished with a sprig of rosemary or dried citrus wheel.
🎶 Music? Think St. Germain, Sade, or That’s Amore if the mood turns cheeky.
✧ Finishing Touches ✧
-
Scents: Set the mood with a subtle outdoor incense or our candle collection.
-
Games: A luxe wooden backgammon set or cards on a linen cloth say, we're fun, but we have taste
-
Parting Gesture: Send guests home with a tiny linen pouch of lavender or a mini bottle of olive oil. Details matter.
