Veronica Beard Celebrated Its Juliska Tableware Collection With a Hamptons Dinner

Getting a group to the Hamptons on a Tuesday night is a tall order—but one that the sisters-in-law (Veronica Swanson Beard and Veronica Miele Beard) behind Veronica Beard had no trouble with. The reason for the sunset dinner, which took place at Wölffer’s picturesque stables in Sagaponack, was to fete the label’s first-ever tabletop collection with Juliska, the decor label run by the husband and wife duo Capucine and David Gooding. As it turned out, the 14-piece collection called Bohemian Vine also marked Juliska s first co-designed collection, too.

As Capucine tells it, she had wanted to partner up with a fashion label with the same feminine but unfussy ethos as Juliska. She wanted a brand that dressed the modern woman who appreciated aesthetics but also prized function; Veronica Beard instantly came to mind, so the Juliska duo reached out. As fate would have it, the Veronica Beards were on the same page, desiring to expand into the tabletop category via collaboration and Juliska was at the very top of their list.

Yesterday night, a group including Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Jessica Joffe, and Amy Julliette Lefevre gathered in a courtyard at the stables, which, for the occasion, was dressed with a long dinner table decorated with pieces from the new collection. There were scalloped rimmed salad plates, hand-painted in Portugal in a plaid design, and beautiful vine-ringed dinner plates in a rich olive green. The tabletop collection’s prints and patterns were all sourced directly from Veronica Beard’s fashion pieces, and the tablescape made for a very lovely dinner party—though that was to be expected.

After guests took their seats, Veronica Swanson Beard rose for a quick toast; as she spoke, horses neighed in the background—a reminder that the stables were very much occupied. “I am, truth be told, a crazy tableware and tabletop shopper. I will buy it anywhere. So I m so happy that we get to have our own collection now, and it was such fun doing this with you all,” she said to the Juliska-founders. “You all are the best; pros in the business and it made our life very easy.” In unison, the table rose their Juliska stemware, filled with Wölffer rosé for the cheers.
