Hosting a Summer Garden Party? These Glass Pieces Steal the Table

There’s something about eating outdoors that just makes everything feel better. Whether it’s a backyard, patio, rooftop, or park table, summer garden parties are all about making simple moments beautiful. And a big part of that? What’s on the table.

Not just what you’re serving—but what you’re serving in.

Cloudnola’s colorful glass bowls and double-walled drinkware weren’t designed just to look good in photos. They were created to be functional art. Pieces that hold up through a long, hot afternoon and still catch compliments at sunset.

More Than Just Table Decor

Summer hosting is casual, yes—but it doesn’t have to be boring. When you set the table with intentionally designed objects, your guests feel it. The energy lifts. The food pops. Even a bowl of peaches feels elevated.

Take the Tip Top Bowls. Their reversible shape and two-tone color palette aren’t just fun—they’re conversation starters. Use them for fruit, snacks, bread, ice, or even just as sculptural centerpieces when empty.

Match a pink + yellow bowl with fresh citrus, or a green + yellow with green apples or lemons. Want something cooler? Try the blue + pink version with grapes or chips. It's color theory you can serve from.

Drinks That Look and Feel Cool

No garden party is complete without drinks that stay cold—and glasses that don’t sweat all over your table.

The Double-Walled Colored Rocks Glasses are insulated, lightweight, and come in a spectrum of summery colors. Their shape makes them easy to hold, and their function means your mojito, spritz, or sparkling lemonade stays chilled longer than it would in a standard glass.

Pair them with the Orange Double-Walled Carafe for maximum impact. The bright amber hue glows in natural light, adding a warm highlight to your table even when empty. Fill it with infused water, sangria, or something sparkling—and refill it often.

Make It Easy, Make It Beautiful

The beauty of this setup is that it doesn’t require a formal menu or elaborate plating. Use linen napkins, wildflowers in a jar, maybe a baguette and some herby butter. Add colorful bowls and glasses, and suddenly it looks like a designer styled your brunch.

These pieces are light, durable, easy to carry outside, and even easier to rinse and restyle. Use one carafe for drinks, another for flowers. Use the bowls for snacks at lunch and fruit salad later in the day. Then leave them out when the sun goes down—because they look good even empty.

A Table That Reflects Summer

Hosting is about making people feel welcome. You don’t need perfection—you need presence. These bowls, glasses, and pitchers were designed to feel both effortless and intentional. And they photograph beautifully, too.

If you’re hosting a garden party, or just making Tuesday dinner a little more special, shop Cloudnola’s Bowls Collection and Drinkware Collection to build your own colorful, functional table.

The best part? You’ll want to use them long after summer ends.
