The warmth of the sun finally appearing in the Pacific Northwest
has inspired me to think about gardening and being in the
outdoors!
What better way to be creative and outdoors
than to host an
garden party!!!!
Your garden doesn't have to be a perfect
thing of beauty to host a
outdoor garden party...
Its all in the decorations
and details...
Some of the same principals apply
that you have read in
most of my anthro inspired
blogs:
vintage and distressed wood
and here are some new additions:
1: Vintage Tablecloths
in soft florals
or solids with a flair or a little something extra..
2: vintage or mixed matched wooden chairs...
found at yard sales and thrift shops
I love this retro sofa pulled into the mix
or this bench with some throw pillows
that match the colors
3: mismatched and unique floral tableware
I am sure some of you
recognize these fun teacups
from
4. floral center pieces
using vintage items
as vases
Love these single flowers
in hanging mason jars
Vintage birdcase with floral
used as vases
and more mason jars
with a little different
twist...floating!
and a little hint
on how to keep flowers
in place in the jars...
some use tape,
but you can use wire too..
5: Draw the eye up and around with
lantern, lights, hanging decor
*also if you party goes into the evening
it adds extra lighting
buntings are also amazing
the pom poms
give the illusion of flowers
Lanterns
are timeless garden
party staples
Your party may run into the
late summer evening
be prepared with amazing
lighting...
this is a very cool pic..
had to throw it in the mix
And if you decide to start later
in the evening
here is an spectacular
activies to offer your guests
after dinner...
A backyard theater
Here is a great link
that teaches you
how to set up
your own backyard theater
