As people have become more interested in nature, more outdoor living areas have been incorporated into homes and a relaxed, casual entertaining style has emerged. For your next garden or patio party, make use of flowering or green plants in season. Clay pots fit any decor and can be used for flowering plants, green plants or as containers for flower arrangements. Topiary designs look great in clay pots and can be created with ivy or flowers. Miniature vases each showcasing a different type of flower and placed all along the table is a real conversation starter and you can give one to each guest as they leave.
Most patio parties take place in the summer so roses are in season and a great value.
Small clusters of roses in low containers with a sprinkling of rose petals on the table among votive candles can create a very elegant mood. Special Touches Hang twinkle lights or lanterns from trees or place lights among flowering plants. Outline the patio with plants and twinkle lights at the ground level to create a defined space. Floral name cards or a flower on each napkin adds a personal touch that is as friendly as this style of party.
