In Australia, we miss out on the White Christmas traditions of our Northern Hemisphere counterparts. That’s why it is a great reason to get together a group of friends and celebrate a Christmas in July dinner party. And in order to style a stunningly unique Christmas table setting, we invited multi-passionate influencers and creatives Lisa from @missrunwayfoodie, Jazz from @jazzdbell, Bianca from @thesecondrow and Nikki from @statesofstyle. Each proposed a Christmas in July mismatched dinner set to reflect their passions and personality. Selecting from the Anna Vasily range of unique dinnerware pieces, all four of them assembled 4 different styles both beautiful and Insta-worthy.
Exploring the possibilities of colour, texture and shape, each of our influencers created a unique mismatched dinner set, perfect for an eccentric and sophisticated dinner party filled with food, fun and laughter.
Combining contrasting patterns in the same shade, Bianca has created a whimsical, yet stylish mismatched dinner set using our dinner plates Fiola, Abha and Laya.
Fiola provides the perfect base. This classy dessert plate is 32.3cm in diameter and comes in a soft cream in our lattice Venetian Filigree pattern.
Abha is a stylish risotto plate with a softly raised rim in our unique Chrysanthemum pattern. This lovely round plate is 27 cm in diameter, and the delicate cream, sandy beige colour adds a touch of sophistication.
Add Laya as an adorable finishing touch. A delicate matte gold side plate in our Venetian Filigree pattern, Laya will add colour and a touch of sophistication to your mismatched table setting.

Jazz brought her trademark quirky style and positive energy to our shoot and was delighted to find a plate that matched her outfit! Her Christmas in July combination of Abha and Vega embodies Jazz’s style – keeping the colour palette consistent, and clashing patterns to create a sophisticated, yet uniquely mismatched table setting.
Abha takes on a new personality when paired with Vega, a round side plate in our retro Sixties pattern. Used as a side plate or to serve traditional Christmas pudding, Vega adds sophisticated fun to your mismatched table setting.
If there was a competition to see which of our influencers wears the most hats, Jazz Bell (@jazzdbell) would win, hands down. With a resume that includes model, television presenter, singer, producer, blogger and influencer!
Lisa selected Vossi as the focal point of her dinner set, adding our Laya side plate and finishing off her setting with Reese, our dessert bowl – repurposed here as a decorative extra. For the ultra-stylish, Vossi is the perfect choice of dinner plate for Christmas in July celebration. Vossi has a diameter of 25.5 cm and is made special with a stunning splash of matte gold. Laya is our versatile side plate with elevated rim that complements the gold in Vossi, creating a beautifully mismatched table setting.

As someone who always looks fashionable, yet unique, Nikki’s use of both matching and contrasting patterns made for a stylish table setting using the pieces Alpi, Owen and Eva.
Alpi is a round dinner plate in our Venetian Filigree design in a sophisticated dark navy blue. This elegant plate is 25.5 cm in diameter and sets a sophisticated tone for the rest of the dinner set.
Owen is a round, side / dessert plate with an elevated rim. Decorated with the Venetian filigree pattern in the same elegant navy blue, the combination of these matching pieces will make a divine impression when added to any table setting. Nikki, included the patterned side plate Eva to add a dash of whimsy to her elegant setting. Patterned with a Chrysanthemum design in a soft cream, sandy beige colour, Eva adds romance and sophistication to this unique dinner set.
