20 Americana Hosting Essentials That Nail the Chic Nancy Meyers Aesthetic for Memorial Day

Memorial Day is arguably the best Monday on the calendar. A time when we eat hamburgers barefoot in the grass, hopefully adjacent to some sort of body of water, chatting the afternoon away with friends and family in various shades of linen.

Whether you’re hosting indoors, outdoors, or bouncing between the two, your summer decor should be just as Nancy Meyers-ready as the scene itself.

It starts with the curb appeal: old-timey patriotic bunting and woven urn planters overflowing with fresh white hydrangeas. Indoors, there are striped cotton linens trimmed with tiny bows from Gohar World and woven beverage tubs already stocked with ice-cold bubbly water and beer. Outside, half-moon fringed umbrellas create a more clever kind of shade, letting even the tiniest backyards indulge in the full festive fête.

You can absolutely restyle all of these pieces come July 4th. But for now, consider this your shopping list for the chicest Memorial Day gathering on the block.
