Our curated garden party ideas will give you inspiration for the coming summer months
From outdoor kitchen ideas to bar set ups, schemes and decor, with a few steps you can welcome guests into a beautifully styled space with our garden party ideas. Elevating your garden into a party playground for everyone to enjoy can be as big a job, or involve as few touches as you desire.
'Our gardens and outdoor spaces have increasingly become the preferred destination for gathering with family and friends, so make sure your setting is ready to host,' advises Emmie Brookman, Creative Director, Silver Mushroom. 'It doesn’t have to be as extravagant as a pergola, but comfortable furniture and a good BBQ should be at the top of your list.'
Choose a garden party theme or colour to add decorative touches, maybe echo the colours of surrounding flowering shrubs and plants. Adding tablecloths, seat cushions and napkins are all great garden party ideas and they'll help to reflect your chosen colour palette and unify your outdoor space. Draped fabric looks pretty for summer garden ideas for parties and will give extra protection from the sun if the weather is too hot to handle.
Extend your theme into other areas by stringing up large brightly coloured paper pompoms or other garden party decorations such as bunting. Flowers in the same shade add well-thought-out detail.

Even if your table is small it’s worth placing a vase or two on the table, if there’s not much room then opt for narrow and tall, it will take up less space but still give your table a colourful lift. And if you have flowers growing in your garden then cut them especially. Read More…
