SUMMER DINING

One of my favorite things to do when it warms up is to have dinner outside.  I find it super relaxing and it seems to always make dinner tastes better!  Imagine that!? 

I find that plastic dinnerware is fun to use for these occasions.  It relieves worry of dropping and breaking your prized and/or expensive dinnerware.  A good option is melamine.  Melamine is a tough, durable plastic that won't scratch or break.  It is much stronger than regular plastic dinnerware. 
Also, why not have fun with it?  There are so many exciting prints and colors offered these days! 

Here are some of my findings that you can take from your backyard to the beach...



Melamine Sea Fan Plates from Anthrolopogie have a vibrant, fun pattern with scalloped edges that I love!  They are sold in a set of four.







Aren't these fun?!  La Plates offers personalized melamine plates with great style!  It's sure to never disappoint with many different colors, patterns and fonts available.


The Melamine Rooster Dinnerware from Williams-Sonoma is a classic!  This new collection gives the appearance of hand painted ceramics.


This Liberty of London Duclare Black Dinner Plate from Target is chic!  These come in a set of eight.


 

Jill Fenichell and her company, Bongenre, brings high style to melamine!  Her patterns and colors are gorgeous and my fav!


Do you have a favorite?
