This summer, we're all about the fresh summer citrus theme - it's the closest you can get to the Amalfi Coast without actually hopping on a flight! We've even put together our Summer Citrus collection with a roundup of our favorites.
If you're looking to throw an Amalfi Coast themed party, here are our top tips for capturing this fresh summer style at your event.

Decorate with lemons on the table
This is a super easy way to decorate your table. You don't have to add a full runner of lemons and greenery like in these inspo photos - that's a lot of lemons to buy! You can simply fill a crystal bowl or two with the freshest, prettiest lemons at the market. If you can't find the kind with leaves, fake it with some fresh peony leaves from the garden, or any smooth, deep green ones that resemble a lemon leaf.
TIP: Wait until right before your guests arrive to add the lemons to the bowls if your party will be outside. You don't want them to go bad - use them for cooking or baking when the party is over.
Find fun Amalfi Coast themed party favors to share with your guests
We love these lemon-themed cookies for a tasty favor. Another idea that's a hit at our parties (and doesn't require any baking) is pretty bar of soap or a luxe hand cream for each guest. We love this Mangiacotti Lemon Verbena soap for an Amalfi Coast themed party favor. It also is great to add to your bathroom for guests to use! Our Michel Design Works Lemon Basil hand cream is a perennial summer favorite. and makes an excellent gift.
Add blue into your Amalfi Coast themed decor
Blue and yellow are the perfect pair, and if you already have blue and white decor, you can incorporate it into your tablescape.
Our Burano dinnerware is the perfect option for everyday dinnerware that works perfectly for an Amalfi Coast themed party.
Adding gold flatware or candlesticks adds a little touch of glamour - try our Vetro Gold collection for a ton of options.
Add some special lemon touches into the table, too
We can't resist these Vietri Limoni salad plates - we love layering them with our other dinnerware in the summer and creating different tablescape looks. Check out our Summer Citrus collection for more citrusy platters and dinnerware.
Come up with a signature cocktail
Limoncello is delicious and you can find it at your local liquor store. Even something as simple as champagne with a splash of a fancy lemonade is fabulous. Belvoir has a tasty lemonade selection available at many supermarkets in the prettiest bottles - splash them in champagne (or sparkling water for a nonalcoholic option).
