As spring unravels into summer, now is the time to make the most of your outdoor space. Following a couple of years spent apart and with brighter weather just around the corner, \u00a0<\/span>savour<\/span> long weekends by welcoming loved ones into your garden. Whether you have a small patio, decking space or a lawn to enjoy, here we\u2019ve shared a few simple garden party ideas for hosting impromptu gatherings or more poignant occasions, that we hope will keep you inspired throughout the warmer months.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"garden_party_table_spread\"<\/a>
Bring sunshine to your outdoor dining area with seasonal flourishes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A TABLE LADEN WITH JOY<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Entertaining outside is all about creating a sense of conviviality. Dress your table with generous <\/span>pitchers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of lemonade, <\/span>bowls<\/span><\/a>\u00a0piled high, <\/span>chopping boards<\/span><\/a>\u00a0layered with nibbles or even <\/span>champagne baskets.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Contrast plenty of <\/span>wine glasses<\/span><\/a> and\u00a0<\/span>tumblers<\/span><\/a> against taller <\/span>tableware<\/span><\/a>, such as dramatic <\/span>cake stands<\/span><\/a> and bloom-filled <\/span>jugs<\/span><\/a> for a fresh and casual look. The epitome of summer, a bowl of zesty fruit is a cheerful way to inject colour onto the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to work with the flow of your outdoor space. If it\u2019s wild with shrubbery, make use of this\u00a0– cut sprigs and place them on <\/span>napkins<\/span><\/a> to create a cottage garden feel. Alternatively, give life to patio or decking by moving your existing potted plants to surround your dining area \u2013 and for a hint of earthy texture, try framing groups of planters in rustic rattan baskets<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fire_pit_pizza_oven\"<\/a>
When it comes to garden party food, sharing is caring – let everyone get stuck in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A SLICE TO SHARE <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

No gathering is complete without a good spread. Above all, garden parties should be devoted to spending time outside making memories, rather than slaving away in the kitchen. So, the food needs to be fuss-free, delicious and most importantly – easy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A crowd-pleaser across all age groups and a great alternative to BBQs – <\/span>pizza ovens<\/span><\/a> get everyone involved while soaking up the sunshine. Evoke a sense of theatre for the children by playing \u2018build your own\u2019 with different toppings. Or simply serve pizzas at the heart of the table and let guests grab slices as they come and go. This casual approach of letting people help themselves sparks interaction and can be a helpful starting point for outdoor occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

COME AS YOU ARE<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Whether it\u2019s a family affair or you have neighbours visiting, it\u2019s the thoughtful, finer details that make everyone feel truly welcome. Prepare for unexpected guests with <\/span>extra chairs<\/span><\/a>. From <\/span>deck chairs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to <\/span>benches<\/span><\/a>, pull up a pew. It\u2019s also worth considering whether any of your guests might require additional support or comfort \u2013 that\u2019s why spare <\/span>seat pads<\/span><\/a> can never go amiss.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stroud_high_bar_set\"<\/a>
Stroud high bar set<\/span><\/a>\u00a0| Small or large, consider how you can organise your outdoor space for different moments of the day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Smaller tables and chairs \u2013 such as our <\/span>Barrington bistro<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Cerney<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Stroud high bar set<\/span><\/a> \u00a0\u2013 provide loved ones with a little more intimacy to unwind when needed. Or for a shady retreat, a dedicated space under <\/span>parasols<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or sheltered covers will offer a little dose of zen if the sun gets too much.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An easy way to keep the little ones entertained is to build a secret den for them to explore. Simply cascade sheets between trees or the washing line for their very own festival-themed garden party.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It only takes a flicker of mood lighting to transform a whole garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
ILLUMINATE AND ADORN<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

Masters of illumination, <\/span>garden mirrors<\/span><\/a>\u00a0effortlessly brighten and bring life to your outside space. So, if you’re wondering how to transform your garden on a budget or how to decorate small garden corners when preparing to host, mirrors\u00a0instantly open up and rejuvenate those forgotten crevices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Transition from day to dusk with lights that show off your garden in all its glory. By placing <\/span>lighting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at different heights, you can achieve a beautifully dynamic and relaxing\u00a0atmosphere. For a touch of farmhouse chic, recycle glass bottles as candle holders while scattering ambient <\/span>lanterns<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and fairy lights amidst greenery and furniture. Elegant <\/span>spot lights<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and <\/span>wall lights<\/span><\/a>, together with chunky <\/span>candles<\/span><\/a> are perfect for setting a more refined mood.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
If you’re wondering how to design a garden that’s both fresh and cosy, pastel cushions<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0or blankets<\/a> work a charm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
WELCOME WITH WARMTH<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n

As dusk creeps in or the sunlight begins to fade, it\u2019s important to keep your visitors snug. Let them control their temperature by draping furniture with soft <\/span>blankets<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or folding a selection in woven <\/span>picnic baskets<\/span><\/a> for an inviting \u2018help yourself\u2019 feel. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, there\u2019s nothing more blissful than bundling up and conversing with friends against the backdrop of a light summer\u2019s evening. <\/span>The crackle of a <\/span>firepit<\/span><\/a>\u00a0works wonders for bringing guests together while keeping the evening chill at bay.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BRING HOME OUTDOORS<\/span><\/b><\/h6>\n

Promise your guests uncompromised comfort, by bringing the indoors outside. Whatever the shape or size of your outside space, we have a wealth of cosy\u00a0<\/span>garden lounge<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and <\/span>dining sets<\/span><\/a> \u00a0to choose from, along with textured\u00a0<\/span>outdoor rugs<\/span><\/a>. That said, we understand that garden party furniture isn\u2019t just for the weekend. It should be with you for many, many years. So, consider your summertime rituals and what comfort means to you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stretton_lounge_set\"<\/a>
