When you combine a warm evening with cool company and a lineup of fresh summer recipes, happy memories are basically guaranteed. We recently made some of our own, co-hosting a summery outdoor dinner party at a gorgeous home on the Venice Canals.

The evening celebrated Cheeky‘s new line of adorable porcelain dinnerware for Target, and the important cause each cup, bowl and plate contributes to. For every item sold, Cheeky makes a donation to help provide meals for hungry families here in the U.S. This one-for-one model means filling a table with Cheeky’s dinnerware can also help fill the table of someone in need.

We used jars of wildflowers and Cheeky’s playful designs to add a touch of charm to the beach-inspired decor. Our guests – including Whitney Port and an upcoming celeb Guest Editor (stay tuned!) – enjoyed One Hope wines and grapefruit-mint mimosas (our favorite summer Pressed Juicery cocktail!), as well as an incredible seasonal menu by Urban Palate.

To give you a (literal) taste of the evening, we’ve included two amazing summer recipes – one to sip on, one to munch on. Get the details below!
