Oh, this lil dinner party? You just casually threw it together with some no-big-deal recipes (yes, we planned your signature cocktails and apps for you) and really (really) great taste in dishware and candles. It’s whatever.
You already know that if you serve food that’s gorgeous to begin with, it’s only going to get more gorgeous when you add sexy-ass glasses, serving dishes, and tumblers, and gold silverware to the spread. (You will be influenced to purchase a ceramic serving bowl in the shape of a sun by the end of this, trust us.) And you can’t forget about the decor. We’re talking about all the extras: candlesticks! vases! cheese boards! and everything else you need on your table.
Yes, these hand-blown glass and Italian china statement pieces aren’t cheap, if we’re being honest, (people making wedding registries, you’re welcome) but they’re a necessary investment toward becoming classiest party host imaginable. Plus, no one’s saying you only can use them when you’re having your six closest pals over for cocktails. If you wanna spice things up on a Monday night and bust out these dining accessories, no one’s stopping you.
So basically: Setting the mood with chic dishware and a tablecloth can give even mac n’ cheese Michelin vibes—here are the sexiest kitchen accessories and serveware options we could find to give you dinner party ideas for days.
Maybe you were tempted to plop your Brita filter on the table and call it a day. That’s fine, but you could opt for this sophisticated pitcher instead.
