Sweet Summer Time!... a great time for a little outdoor GARDEN PARTY!
What is your favorite thing about hosting a gathering?... besides the company?
For me, it's always been styling the table! It just makes me happy! ...and my guests too!
I start by collecting all the goods that fit my theme... I may not use everything but, it makes it easy to have it all together as I begin to set the table.
While hunting for vintage tea cups and saucers for the summer HOME SUPPLY Co. Box I found some darling vintage china plates. I bought a few with the garden theme table setting in mind! It's so fun to mix and match all the patterns. It made the table setting just a little bit fancy!
Layering is always key to a fun and interesting display! I used a cotton linen
tablecloth, topped with a jute table runner.
Cotton tea towels set under the plates, a handmade strawberry party favor set on top, and a cute gold, embossed bee paper napkin add to the layers.
More garden-themed goods are added. Practical and pretty! ... a basket for rolls & a crystal beehive pot for Fat Head honey.
What's a GARDEN PARTY without flowers? Since I set the table near my backyard potted flowers and my cut flower garden was not blooming yet, I decided I would use the faux lavender plants to add some height and summer color to the table.
I hope I've inspired you to plan your own GARDEN PARTY! Gather the goods that make you happy, set a pretty table, then sit down with your besties for good food, conversation, and lots of laughs!
