Backyard Garden Gathering

Tablescapes are one of the most important parts of putting the pieces together in an outdoor event. A simple tablecloth with a beautiful centerpiece containing a bright color is the perfect combination. 


The hanging bird cages add a little something special  to the atmosphere as well!
Can't you just picture sitting under a tree with your closest friends dining on delectable southern delights and sipping on wine?!

Pair this table with a bright turquoise vase filled with simple white or ivory colored flowers to make the centerpiece pop.


You could add some simple candles all around the table as well to create a sensual environment, without trying too hard.

Another important part of a get-together is the food and everyone knows that the more appealing an item looks, the more mouthwatering it will be. So why not dress up a simple sandwich for a lunchtime event, along with other finger-licking treats.


Another  crucial component in throwing a soiree is the decorations. A cute DIY idea is to make windmills and have them lead up the path to the yard where your lovely event will take place. You can also use the windmills as props for your guests to post with.
