Outdoor Entertaining in Hawaii, with Recipes

Guests, clockwise from bottom left, Lynette Sanvold, Josh Cardwell, Jason Brand, Florence Chong, and Mark Sandvold toast a friendly gathering and the bounty of artfully prepared seafood.

Wares of various materials work aesthetic marvels when thoughtfully styled. Wicker and slipcovered chairs around a wood table, all from Pacific Home (pacific-home.com), anchor the nature-inspired tablescape. A white hurricane lantern, wooden plates and placecard holders, glass vases, green urchin shells, and silver votives, all from SoHa Living (sohaliving.com), enrich the settings. Napkins, placemats, flatware, glassware, square white bowls, and glass chargers are from Fishcake (808/593-1231). Flowers are by Even Morita of Florist Grand (808/589-1382).
