THE CAMILLA GUIDE TO
ENTERTAINING
The event season well and truly underway.
Here are a few suggestions for hosting the perfect party.
THE INVITE LIST
Due to restrictions, guest lists need to be kept tight. We suggest a mix of personalities. There’s nothing more special than a blossoming friendship, so opt to invite people who may not know each other, but have similar interests, and seat them next to each other.
THE TABLE SETTING
This is summer! Go for colour, fantasy and print on print. We love using CAMILLA silk scarves as decoration: simply lay down your table cloth, then place the scarf across the centre of the table. Floral arrangement are also key, either opt for a show-stopper, extravagantly large bouquet, or dot bud vases with little blooms all throughout the table. If you’re hosting a post sunset sorieè, light the room with soft candle light.
THE MENU
