Today with the blue skies and crisp air it really felt like spring! One of the best things about Spring is the feel of celebration in the air. With the warm weather, cute clothes and fresh foods people are just in the mood for a good party. Are you thinking of throwing a seasonal bash soon? Below are some tips from Jes on designing your own Springtime Garden Party!
1. Entertain in a room with natural sunlight, or even better outside! (just be wary of April Showers!)
2. Create small seating areas out of patio furniture or old-fashioned wrought-iron tables and chairs.
3. Use potted plants, like mini potted roses, gardenias, and azaleas, for everything, including your table centerpieces. Hang potted ferns from above, and cover serving areas with natural moss accents. Spring is all about new life and growth so having live plants is ideal.
4. Don't be afraid to get uberfeminine and lush -- use a lace overlay on top of your tablecloth.
5. For another centerpiece idea, grab a mismatched collection of vintage milk-glass vases and glassware to hold blooms. Go ahead and mix up your flatware too, and serve your tea in an eclectic array of antique teacups and saucers.
6. Bring in some butterflies! They don't have to be the real thing, but place silk butterfly accents in all your plant decorations to create a realistic garden atmosphere.
The whole point with a Springtime Garden Party is to embrace the colors, accents, and mood of the beautiful nature around you!
