De Wulf Gooding
June 6th, 2024
In our Guest Editor series, we tap some of our favorite creators, entrepreneurs, and tastemakers to share their journey, style, and current closet crushes. This month’s feature: Capucine De Wulf Gooding, co-founder of Juliska and jewelry line Capucine De Wulf. With summer entertaining in mind, she dreams up three party scenes—using new Tuckernuck Home products and her tableware line—at her home in Charleston, SC. Read on for all of her hosting tips, entertaining essentials, and warm-weather outfit staples.
Meet The Editor
Between her namesake jewelry brand and her tableware company, Juliska, Capucine certainly has a full plate. Her one-of-a-kind spirit is a direct result of a unique upbringing—she’s a little bit French, a little bit Southern, and the right blend of old-school and whimsical. But beyond being an entrepreneur, her greatest passion is motherhood. “No matter how hard I work or how successful I become, it's important that my three children always feel that they have a mother who prioritizes them first.”
The Best-Dressed Host for Every Summer Party
Poolside Brunch
Go for a print in case of spills, and add a black sandal for both comfort and cool factor.
An Afternoon Lemonade
An all-neutral look is quintessentially summer. Dress it up with a chunky necklace and artful bangles.
Dinner on the Terrace
A midi won’t blow up in the breeze, and a classic espadrille is dressy enough while still allowing you to run around and cater to your guests.
For a formal dinner party, let the view do the talking, but bring out your best linens from Tuckernuck Home, eye-catching plates from Juliska, and tapered candles to elevate your space. The final touch? A dress with details that match.
Her Entertaining Must-Haves
Essentials for finding the fun:
1. “Abundant fresh flowers. Think about all the rooms your guest will enter and make them inviting.”
2. “Handwritten place cards. This is a little detail that shows your guests you really care for them.”
3. “Exquisite glasses. A fine glass, whether formal or casual, is a little luxury you can enjoy everyday.”
4. “An assortment of candles—light lots of them!”
5. “Beautiful table linens to define your sense of style.”
6. “Something whimsical that sparks smiles and conversations, like novelty S&P shakers.
7. “Gorgeous plates create a feast for the eyes!”
Grab a bouquet, gather some pillows, and pack some sandwiches and iced-cold drinks for a stylish party on the go. A linen blouse with frayed denim or a throw-on shirt dress is the ideal car ride look (read: wrinkle friendly!).
Juliska has an outdoor collection of shatterproof acrylic and melamine plates and flatware that makes it easy to set a table that’s both pretty and practical. Add bamboo flatware and freshly cut flowers for extra natural touches.
