How to Plan a Vintage Garden Party
The ability to entertain outside and have family and friends over for a fun garden party comes with the warmer weather. Take a look at some of the elegant garden party ideas below before sending out your party invitations.
If your party is going to last till the evening, you’ll need some lights. This can be done for a low cost by hanging vintage style string lights, utilizing paper lanterns, or using candle lanterns to light up the tables, as shown in the photo.
Candles can be placed in Mason jars, and the outsides of the jars can be decorated with colorful craft paper. Candles on stakes and planted in the ground are one of the simplest and cheapest ways to add lighting.
Mason jars as glasses, a glass drinks dispenser, twine to tie napkins around cutlery sets, and mismatched plates are other antique party items that can be used to decorate the tables.
A lace tablecloth, a doily table runner, or a burlap table runner can be used to dress up the table. Table planters made out of vintage glass bottles are available. As a decorative element, a birdcage can be used to hold plants, string lights, or old books. They can also be used to store silverware and sauces on the dining table.
See if you can work a chalkboard into your design in some way, like the one in the photo of the vintage garden tea party.
It’s as simple as taking a big piece of cardboard and painting it with chalkboard paint. For a blackboard display, a sheet of plywood might be better. Suitcases in the vintage design can be utilized as food stands or simply as ornamental items.
