Midsummer Is Here – Get Inspired with These 11 Dinner Party Essentials

With the longest day of the year on the horizon, we thought it was finally time to break out the blue and white for a midsummer solstice party.

In olden times, Midsummer night was considered a time of magic and mystery when plants acquired healing powers and were used to predict the future. Young women would even pick seven different kinds of flowers and put them under their pillow to dream of their futures.

Cut to 2024 and we’ve updated it just a bit. This Midsummer event is all about alfresco dining in the sunshine. Traditionally, the table is set with blue and white porcelain with hints of red from summery strawberries. Check out some of our favorite recommendations below.
