There’s something magical about summer entertaining—the golden evening light, the fresh flavors, and of course, the joy of gathering with friends around a beautifully set table. This season, I was inspired by one of summer’s sweetest and juiciest treasures: the peach. With its delicate blush tones and irresistible flavor, the peach became the star of my latest dinner party—both on the table and in the menu.
To bring this vision to life, I turned to Solino Home linens to set the foundation for a stunning peach-themed tablescape that captured all the warmth, softness, and joy of summer.
The Tablescape:
Soft, Elegant, and Effortlessly Summery
The first step in creating the perfect peach-inspired table was choosing the right linens. I opted for Solino Home's colorful linen tablecloth, which gave a breezy, understated elegance to the entire setup. To add subtle layers and texture, I paired it with coordinating napkins in gentle peach and pink hues with these stunning ruffles. Just enough color to tie the whole theme together without overwhelming the senses.
From there, I added gold flatware and simple glassware to bring a touch of glam, while fresh florals and pink pillar candles down the center of the table kept the vibe organic and relaxed. Fresh peaches doubled as décor and a delicious preview of what was to come.
The Menu:
Light, Seasonal, and Peach-Forward
Of course, no summer dinner party is complete without a menu that reflects the flavors of the season. I kept things simple, fresh, and peach-centric.
Starter: Mixed Arugula Salad with Sliced Peaches
I began with a fresh arugula salad tossed with crumbled goat cheese, toasted almonds, and thinly sliced ripe peaches. A drizzle of honey-lemon vinaigrette brought all the flavors together—peppery, sweet, tangy, and nutty.
Main Course: Light & Grilled (Optional)
While the main course can be customized to your guests’ preferences, I love something grilled and unfussy for summer—maybe herbed chicken, salmon, or even a grilled flatbread with burrata and fresh herbs.
Dessert: Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream and Olive Oil Drizzle
For dessert, I returned to the star ingredient: perfectly grilled peach halves, warm and caramelized, served with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and a luxurious drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It’s a simple but elegant way to end the evening—and a total showstopper.
What I loved most about this tablescape was how effortlessly it came together. Summer entertaining doesn’t have to be complicated. With high-quality linens from Solino Home, a few fresh ingredients, and a soft color palette inspired by nature, you can create a space that feels both special and spontaneous.
So the next time you’re planning a dinner party, let the season inspire you. Think peaches, linen, candlelight—and the kind of laughter that lingers long after the plates are cleared.
Thank you, Joanna, for showing us how simple, thoughtful styling can create meaningful moments around the table. We hope her beautifully curated look inspires your next gathering. To recreate the tablescape, explore the pieces she used and bring that same warm, inviting feel into your own home.
