Summer hosting season is officially open. In this episode, Caitlin and Sam are pulling up every lawn chair they own to talk about how to throw the ultimate summer soirée — from color-drenched tablescapes and asymmetrical centerpieces to batched cocktails and the case for homemade party favors. They cover what's having a major moment right now (glassware as art, fruit-forward everything, Euro Mediterranean vibes) and the timeless wisdom that never expires (salt your greens, don't be in the kitchen when your guests arrive, and always let someone bring the thing they actually want to bring). Plus: the spritz debate, an oyster plate obsession, and the official announcement of Sam's Summer Soirée. Pull up a chair — or better yet, a lawn chair.
Come tell us what you're planning for your summer soirée — or the hosting hack you swear by — in our DMs or the comments on Instagram @thestudio_terrace. And if you have a party theme we didn't cover, drop it below. Sam might just need it for Sam's Summer Soirée. See you back on the terrace. Don't forget the wine, preferably in a beautifully colored glass. 🍷
