Serve up summer style with these 24 tableware finds from QVC, Pottery Barn, Magnolia, and Anthropologie

Air out your patio furniture, sweep off your deck, and light a citronella candle or two: Summer entertaining season has made its long-anticipated return. Not only is hosting a summer soirée the perfect excuse to enjoy the mild weather and reconnect with loved ones, it's also a great opportunity to try out a new design trend on a smaller scale, specifically with your summer table decor.

If you've been tempted to try your hand at maximalism, opt for layering patterned linens with bold plate designs. If the playful Mediterranean-inspired motifs (it seems the fisherman aesthetic is here to stay!) have piqued your interest, try out the trend with a few accents, like a punchy butter serving dish. And of course, you can't go wrong with rustic simplicity: Vintage-inspired salt and pepper shakers, adorable cake stands, and floral serving utensils will complement your design, not compete with it.

Whether you're hosting a garden soirée, a laidback dinner, or a cocktail party, these pieces are sure to breathe new life into your outdoor space.
