The idea of a garden party just makes me so happy! I absolutely love this time of year anyway! My family gets giddy when the last 6 weeks of school begins! I literally look outside my window every morning to see how much greener everything got over the last 24 hours!
This is so “Downton Abbey-ish”! A beautiful floral arrangement on a simple round table with nice folding chairs. I also love the twinkle lights on the shrubs in the background. So pretty!
Unexpected Elegance
Even more “Downton Abbey-ish”! Just for the afternoon, take your favorite piece of furniture to the backyard and create a special event for someone.
How sweet is this one? With a temporary candelabra and antique seating plus the swag on the table, this is a romantic little nook surrounded by nature!
Do you have a beautiful, brightly colored tablecloth? It’s a quick way to dress up your old outdoor furniture and give it new “spring” life!
Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a body of water near-by!
Unexpected Accessories
The wood slices as chargers are so popular right now! And PERFECT for such an occasion as a garden party! I also love the lanterns hanging from the tree!
This is a simple outdoor table-scape! Different sized candles with flowers and greenery. The cloth napkins and real dishes (as opposed to paper plates) is a fun idea!
I absolutely love these gold vases with the brightly covered floral arrangements the center this picnic table! Just one small tweak changes an otherwise ho-hum outdoor table into an exquisite dining experience.
Again, take an old picnic table and add some bright and cheerful accents for a special party.
Add homemade streamers to your trees for a more festive celebration!
Revised Refreshments
Having one area designated as your refreshments area is a good way to tie in a theme to your outdoor gathering.
This is a great idea! Use mason jars as you glasses! And display sliced lemons in the lemonade for a spring-fresh look.
Another beautiful table display for an outdoor party! Layer the look with baskets!
I LOVE using bar carts for different purposes! Check out my post on different Bar Cart ideas! Again, lemons are a great decorating accent for a spring party!
How easy AND beautiful is this!?! Store different garden fresh salads in glass jars for natural color! I also love the homemade labels!
How handy are you? This is a genius idea for a rustic outdoor wine and beer bar!
What do you think? Are you adventurous enough to bring your indoor items out to your yard for a unique spring fling?
What a great seasonal way to connect with friends and family!
Happy Monday!
