Spring is the perfect time to get outside with good friends, a delicious meal and a bottle of wine. Amos Gott kept things simple yet stunning for this spring soirée. He recommends starting with one piece that you love, whether it be a china pattern or a napkin color, and building the tablescape around it.

Pull together pieces from your own collection—family heirlooms, antiques or items acquired while traveling—for a table that reflects your personal style. Don’t underestimate the power of an eclectic piece to be a conversation starter! Carry your theme beyond the dinner table to the bar with unique signs or vintage glassware. And think about where people will congregate before and after the meal, and plan something interactive to ensure everyone has a great time. To see the full spread and Amos' great tips, click here.
