This Ain't Your Grandmother's Old Silverware Collection — Shop the Fresh Serveware Style Your Summer Soirée Deserves

Because why settle for a basic white serving dish when you could have a sleek, silver, seaside-inspired platter?

It's official: the season of hosting is upon us again. And while you may have stocked up on stylish serveware for the festive season just gone, let's be honest — that Christmas tree-shaped platter ain't going to cut it for a June dinner party.

This summer, your table deserves something special, and something special I've found. Channeling the chrome trend that's been dominating the world of design, it's high time we give silverware a stylish update. And what screams summer more than a nautical twist?

From elegant seashell-inspired decor to rope-accented platters and even serving trays that nod to sailboat motifs, I've found pieces that feel so perfectly fitting for a summertime soirée. Plus, they're sure to get your guests talking — compliments, of course. Below, find six pieces of shiny seaside-inspired serveware to shop from Saks.

But perhaps 'seaside' isn't the theme you're going for this summer. Don't worry — I've found some equally stylish inland-inspired silver serveware styles for you, too.

Whether you're all about coastal decor ideas, or you're drawn to more nature-inspired motifs found in the garden, you can't deny that this serveware just screams summertime hosting.

One things for sure: silverware has never looked so good.
