The Details

The finishing touches are what people remember. This blue hydrangea wire edged ribbon is the prettiest accent — watercolor florals on ribbon that holds its shape beautifully. Tie it around a gift, dress up a centerpiece, or use it to add a little something extra to the table. Two rolls, 20 yards, under $13. 


The hostess gift that looks like you really thought about it. This painted oyster shell trinket dish — blue and white botanicals with a gilded edge — a pretty thing that lives on a vanity or a bathroom counter long after the party is over. Under $16 and it arrives looking like something from a boutique. Perfect for a bridal shower or anyone who loves the coast.


The Glow


The right light changes everything. These flameless waterproof pillar candles flicker like the real thing but work outdoors, in the rain, and all night long without worry. Set of 4 with a remote control — perfect for a deck table, a patio gathering, or lining a summer dinner table at dusk. Under $20 and they create the most beautiful flickering glow without the worry of an open flame outdoors.


The Sip


Because the prettiest table deserves the prettiest glass. These blue crystal vintage-style plastic goblets are unbreakable, reusable, and stunning on a summer table. The secret? They’re plastic — which means they survive the patio, the deck, and every outdoor gathering without a second thought. Set of 24 for under $36.


The Table


A coastal table starts with the right plate. These nautical paper plates — anchors and crabs in blue, red, and gold on crisp white — a find  that makes a summer table look pulled together without any effort. 24 plates, two designs, under $12. Lay them over a rattan charger and you have a tablescape. Perfect for a beach house gathering, a seafood boil, or any summer celebration.


The Sweet


Every gathering needs a showstopper dessert. This month on the blog, Grandma’s Strawberry Shortcake — juicy macerated berries, fluffy golden biscuits, and as much fresh whipped cream as you can pile on. An old fashioned recipe that never goes out of style. Find the full recipe on the blog.


The Blooms


Nothing says coastal summer like a big bunch of blue hydrangeas. These fresh cut stems arrive  straight to your door — 12 stems of soft blue hydrangeas perfect for a centerpiece, a bridal shower table, or simply a vase on the porch. Under $70 and they make any table look like it was styled. The coastal summer bloom, full stop.


The Look


The hat that makes any summer outfit. This wide brim pleated straw sun hat with a blue striped bow is the accessory that turns a simple linen dress into a whole look. Foldable, reversible, and under $25 — it goes from the beach to a backyard gathering without missing a beat. The coastal summer accessory you’ll reach for all season.
