Dining al fresco is one of the best parts about summer. Once your backyard is set up with a beautiful outdoor dining set, string lights and maybe even an outdoor area rug, all you need to do is set the table. That’s where the best outdoor dinnerware comes in.

Want to know a secret? Your tablescape is like your front door. It gives your guests a first impression of who you are as a host, and gorgeous outdoor dinnerware can help set the tone for a memorable meal. There are no rules for setting a stylish outdoor table, so why not have some fun? From whimsical designs to traditional textures, eclectic patterns, and modern shapes, we found chic ideas for every aesthetic. The best part? Function-first options like melamine dinner plates, water-resistant placemats, and plastic wine glasses make it as fuss-free as possible, meaning these finds will help you spend more time with your guests and less time worrying someone might knock a glass onto the deck. We’ll toast to that!

A table setting isn’t complete without a wine glass, right?

These handmade cotton napkins will add instant style to your table and are made to last for years to come.
