By taking a little extra time to create the right ambience, you can transform your outdoor party into a soiree your guests will never forget. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Lighting: When the sun sets, transform your backyard into a starlit paradise. Use lanterns, garden lamps or plain Christmas lights to set the mood. Light citronella candles and lawn torches to keep mosquitoes away from the festivities. For that wow factor, put some floating candles in bowls of water, a birdbath or your pool. Add flower petals for a more elegant look.
Decor: Plant your flowers in hanging planters, letting the flowers cascade downwards over your guests. Another way to spruce up your awning is by adding an outdoor decorative chandelier. Continue your party’s theme in the restroom by placing candles and flowers from your garden inside.
Seating: Make sure there are enough seats for all your guests. Children will be comfortable sitting on blankets and pillows. Revive old lawn furniture by covering it with cushions and slips; it’s a great way to bring your chairs from frightful to fabulous!
Music: Choose music that complements your party’s theme and have it playing outside. Let it play softly in the background so as not to interfere with your guests’ conversations.
