The Perfect Garden Gathering

There’s something effortlessly charming about dining outdoors in the warmer months, where the setting itself becomes as much a part of the experience as the meal shared.

Here at Gathered Living, we believe in embracing the beauty of imperfection when it comes to alfresco dining. It’s not about perfectly coordinated place settings, but rather a mix of textures, tones and collected pieces that reflect the easy elegance of the season.

MIX & MATCH

Start with mismatched pottery, each piece telling its own story. Whether it’s an heirloom bowl passed down through generations or a newly found favourite from our hand-painted Breton and Botanic ranges, the beauty lies in their individuality. Add in one of our berry bowls, perfect for sun-warmed strawberries or garden-picked gooseberries, and you begin to build a table that feels lovingly layered and lived-in.

LAYERED LINENS

The warmth of earthy tones and rustic finishes adds character to the table, creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that invites guests to linger. Striped table linens, with their timeless charm, bring a touch of casual sophistication. Our Provence Stripe linen collections are a favourite for just this sort of setting, where simplicity meets style.

TUSCAN POTTERY

Our Tuscan pottery range brings a grounded, tactile beauty to the table. Generous jugs hold freshly picked blooms or cool drinks for sharing, while wide, shallow bowls are perfect for serving seasonal dishes with ease. The cups, with their softly rounded shape, are just the right size for lemonade, chilled wine or something sparkling as the sun begins to fade. You can even nestle a plant into a pot to add softness and structure, a simple way to layer texture and bring even more life to your summer setting.

GATHER YOUR BLOOMS

Let wildflowers take centre stage. A vintage marmalade jar filled with a loose, gathered bunch from the garden or hedgerow creates the kind of natural beauty that needs no arranging.

It is in the small, thoughtful details, the layered linens, the gathered flowers, the quiet mix of pottery, that a table becomes more than just a place to eat. It becomes a moment to pause, to savour, to connect.

Whether you are hosting friends or sharing something simple with family, let the setting reflect the ease of the season. Unfussy, unhurried and full of character.

Here is to long afternoons, shared meals and the quiet joy of gathering in the garden.
