A stunning summer table setting with luxury creations

As the sun’s warm rays dapple us and vibrant colours come to life, it is the perfect time to infuse your dining experience with the essence of summer. A well-curated table setting can transport your guests into a realm of joy and absolute relaxation, where every meal feels like a delightful celebration.

Christhellas will assist you with turning every single summer gathering into a series of formidable memories, thanks to an array of luxurious creations from Christofle, Bernardaud, and Saint-Louis.

Picking a colour palette that evokes the essence of summer

Choosing the right colour palette is of utmost importance, as it can set the whole ambiance of the gathering. Start by choosing a colour palette that reflects a refreshing and vibrant summer mood. Opt for bright and cheerful hues like sunny yellows, aqua blues, or lush greens. These colours evoke feelings of happiness, energy, and nature’s abundance, setting the tone for a lively summer table setting.

Selecting luxury tableware

Investing in high-quality luxury tableware enhances the visual appeal and elevates your home gathering – especially during summer season, when a wide variety of vibrant creations is available. Porcelain is always a great idea, with elegant tableware embellished with intricate patterns, such as the Jardin Indien collection, or delicate gold accents, like the Aux Oiseaux collection.

Complement them with minimal crystal glassware that catches the light, adding a touch of glamour to your table. Folia from Saint-Louis is a perfect example. Do not forget to include matching simplistic flatware. The L’Âme series from Christofle, for instance, is available in silver, as well as in gold.

Embracing seasonal elements

Incorporate seasonal elements into your summer table setting to evoke a sense of the outdoors and bring the beauty of nature to your table. Consider using fresh flowers as a centrepiece, selecting blooms that showcase the vibrant colours of summer, such as sunflowers, daisies, or roses. Arranging them in minimal porcelain vases, such as the Legende vase from Bernardaud, would highlight their unique beauty, while you can always add more natural hints by scattering petals along the table. If you are seeking to infuse your summer table with a coastal vibe, draw inspiration from the sea. Include elements like seashells, coral, or driftwood as decorative accents.

Adding natural textures

Enhance the tactile experience of your home gathering by incorporating natural textures into your table setting. Gather all the inspiration you can get from woven placemats or linen table runners in light and airy fabrics, reminiscent of a perfect summer setting. This adds a subtle layer of depth and brings a touch of rustic charm to your setting.

Incorporating ambient lighting

As the sun sets and the warm summer night unfolds, incorporating ambient lighting into your setting is the single most perfect final touch. Place delicate tea light candles in decorative holders or lithophanes brought to you by Bernardaud all along the table, to create a cosy and intimate atmosphere. For another enchanting touch, string fairy lights or lanterns above the dining table to cast a soft glow that completes the magic of your summer night.

Celebrating the season

Creating a captivating summer table setting with luxury tableware allows you to celebrate the joys of the season and to indulge in the art of dining along with your loved ones. By selecting a vibrant colour palette, incorporating seasonal elements, and embracing natural textures, you can transport your guests to a world of summer bliss. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a festive soirée, let your summer tablescape reflect the warmth and beauty of this glorious season. Remember to experiment and infuse your personal style into the table setting, to make it truly unique.
