ummer events can be weeks in the making – but, realistically, we don’t want to spend hours planning for every occasion. With this season’s collection from M&S Home, you’ll have everything you need to put on a glorious garden get-together – even if that's a last-minute checking of your weather app before getting friends round to enjoy the outdoors.
Neutral pieces in the garden are timeless but it’s the bold colours in Sophie's looks that dazzle guests. Sophie recommends adventurous shades within a tight palette for a cohesive scheme. Picnic bowls and plates from the new M&S collection are the perfect place to start; citrus fruit patterns will add a zingy splash of colour to an outdoor dining setup. Try pairing them with wavy blue watercolour side plates to make a Mediterranean palette that will sing in the sunshine.
Impactful shades should definitely have a seat at your table this summer and
you can find them in the Lois Garden Armchairs in cobalt from the new collection. What’s better than sipping an aperitivo in the garden on furniture that makes
a statement?
Sophie often draws her inspiration from warmer climes and travels around places like Morocco, Spain and the Mediterranean. When it comes to these inspirations, blue geometric prints, easily combined colours and pure cotton checked throws will draw the eye.
Layer these patterns with colourful accessories, like the fluted glass vase Sophie chose for the centre of her table – fill with artificial poppy stems to add a juicy
pop of colour, too. Adorn your chairs with parrot cushions and line your benches with sumptuously soft Acapulco Hermosa pads to bring comforting textures
into the mix.
Rustling together a gorgeously colourful escape in your garden is easier than
you might think with the new M&S Home collection. Then, all you need is a good weather app on your phone and you’ll be ready to host a summer social
to remember.

For me, summer entertaining
is the more, the merrier –
and I love parties that can spill out into the garden and carry
on into the evening.
