Garden Party

In partnership with our friends at Chandon

We love a party—especially on a warm evening under the trees, swanning about with a delicious cocktail and a chic summer dress. The key to making a party feel like party right from the start: Be intentional with the details. A signature drink in a gorgeous glass goes a long way toward charming even the most jaded guest; so does flattering lighting (candles if you can swing it), along with delicious easy-to-eat food on real plates with real flatware and cloth napkins. Whether it’s a fifty-person soirée or a three-person lawn-chair get-together, these stylish essentials are guaranteed to relax, enchant, and put just about anyone in a festive mood.

The (Sparkling) Aperitif

Light and fresh, this summery take on Chandon’s sparkling wine is crafted with house-made bitters from locally sourced oranges. Poured over ice with a sliver of fresh orange and a sprig of rosemary, it’s the perfect summer sip.
