The Ultimate Christmas Dinner Party

Dinner party season is here and let’s be honest, you’re probably already busy juggling menus, playlists, and last-minute guests. Who has time to plan an outfit too? That’s where we come in.

This season, we’re bringing together everything you need for the perfect evening - from what you wear to what’s in your glass.

Step one: The Outfit - Velvet and Done

You’re stirring sauces, lighting candles, and trying to remember where you left the corkscrew. The last thing you need is an outfit crisis. Enter: our Velvet Edit and Party Wear Edit two collections made for the season’s best moments.

From the Velvet Sally Anne Dress in our best selling Aubergine colour to the Velvet Anais Jumpsuit that moves beautifully from kitchen prep to cocktails, each piece blends rich texture with relaxed sophistication. The Velvet Blazer and matching Trousers combo is your shortcut to understated glam perfect if you’re hosting and need to look polished without the pressure. 

Just a casual dinner party or girly catch up, no problem, our Astrid tops (choice of three gorgeous colours!) pair beautifully with jeans for an easy, casual look.

Step two: The Menu 

You've sorted the look, now for what's on the table. Take your recipe cue from Menolicious by Bells Berry packed with delicious, feel-good dishes designed for women who love food, flavour, and living well. Think vibrant seasonal salads, slow-cooked mains that don’t demand constant attention, and desserts that impress without a meltdown - perfect for when you want to impress without the stress.

Want a colour pop on the table? We have a small but beautiful collection of block print napkins that instantly elevate your tablescapes.

Step three: The Pour - From Sparkle to Still

Set the tone with a glass that suits your mood. Roebuck Wine brings the sparkle of English, elegance and sustainably made. Perfect for toasts, laughter, and that first clink of glasses and gossip.

Taking a more relaxed route? OHMG Water is your best-kept secret. Calm, magnesium rich, and beautifully bottled, it’s the perfect base for a refreshing mocktail. Serve it over ice with a handful of raspberries, a few sprigs of mint, and a squeeze of lime. A drink that looks as good as it tastes. Refreshing, chic, and totally at home next to the fizz.

Step four: The Mood - We've got you

This isn’t about perfect plating or pristine linens it’s about the moments that matter. The laughter, the conversations, the shimmer of velvet under soft light.

This season, let Aspiga take care of the outfit so you can focus on the joy, the hosting, the food, and the company that makes it all worthwhile.
