August is a great month for entertaining. For me, it is the last chance for casual outdoor get togethers and impromptu barbecues before the rush of the school year and holidays. I love using well designed trays for both personal parties and our dessert tables so we’ve rounded up our favorite trays for all types of soirees. If you’re having a clam bake in Cape Cod, go with the nautical or beach cottage trays. The dotted John Derian tray would be great for a pop art party, while the trellis tray is palm beach chic. For a fall party in the city, I’d choose a croc or shagreen tray for entertaining. All of these pieces are tray chic and great additions to your serveware collection.

We want to know…What is your favorite serving piece?
