Sophisticated Soiree
Is your style simple, understated elegance with a splash of decadence? Would you rather have a glass of champagne and exotic cheese assortments at your party than cold beer and cheese curls? If you answered yes, here are some tips to help you plan a Sophisticated Soirée to send off summer.
Set the Stage with Mosaic:
To dress your tables, we suggest using modern clean prints or for your table linen, just like our Penrose Burnout in Slate. Use a pop of festive holiday color with our Burgundy Hemstitch Napkin. Another on-trend and sophisticated option is mixing materials like our Natural Burlap linen accented with a crisp denim napkin. To complete your elegant table setting, use lots of candlelight and lanterns of all sizes as your
centerpieces, like these gorgeous wood & metal lanterns from West Elm.

Add the Accents:
We recommend delighting your guests’ taste buds with the perfect charcuterie platter followed by delectable and exotic foods on the grill like grilled baby artichokes and grilled lobster. Offer your guests specialty summer cocktails like celebrity Chef Mario Batalli’s refreshing Peach Bellini and refreshing gourmet white iced tea. Close the evening with adorable and festive cheesecakes in mason jars topped with red and blue berries.

Your Sophisticated Soirée is sure to be a hit for those with the most discerning palates!
Patriotic Party
Do you live for a theme? Are you red white and blue, through and through? Than this Patriotic Party is perfect for you! Wow your guests with creative touches and themed food for this festive take on a traditional Labor Day Picnic.
Set the Stage with Mosaic:
To set the mood, set your table! We recommend traditional patriotic stripes in navy blue and white, accented with our red linen with white Swiss dot napkins. For a centerpiece that will capture the spirit of the day, a flag centerpiece as seen on One Charming Party is the perfect choice.

Add the Accents:
Impress your guests on the grill with a twist on traditional picnic fare by serving a Red White & Blue Burger topped with roasted red peppers and bleu cheese. Be sure to bring that element of tradition with your side dishes, like Martha Stewart's famous All-American Potato Salad. End your meal with another Martha classic, the American Flag Tart. Guests will wash down this amazing meal with a fun non-alcoholic Patriotic Drink with fizzy layers of red white and blue, or a specialty cocktail The American Beauty, a ruby red festive punch made with grenadine, brandy, crème de menthe and ruby port.

Kid-Friendly Frolic
Do you have sense of adventure and whimsy? Have you always been a kid at heart? Bring your playful personality to the table for a Kid-Friendly Frolic! Kids of all ages will love these special touches, and will help them forget that school days are right around the corner.
Set the Stage with Mosaic:
The best part about throwing a kid-friendly frolic, in our opinion, are the decorations! Set your table with selections from our Western Collection, like the Red Star Western Linen. To bring even more fun to your table, use napkins from our Dots Collection in either red or blue with whimsical white dots. And what kid’s table would be complete without a sweet edible centerpiece? Use any size glassware and fill with red white and blue gum balls and top with American Flags.
