When
the hot weather abates, outside beckons, making this the best time for an
outdoor party. How do you prepare? No doubt, you have a good idea who will
attend and what you will serve. How will your place look and feel? This post
will help you think about that. A successful al fresco party requires outdoor space
that is comfortable and attractive. Add furniture so that everyone can sit.
Wood is a good choice, and it can be chic and casual. Rattan is another natural
choice; a sofa with colorful cushions adds comfort and energy. If you want to
go modern, use L- or U-shaped sectionals and chaise lounges. Your décor must be
natural. If your outdoor space isn’t already planted, rent planters and vases
with shrubbery, other greenery, flowers, or combinations of flora that suit
your design, and place them strategically. (Don’t forget a floral table
decoration)
Track
lighting is a great solution to controlling ambience—lighter areas for food
& beverage service, lower light for conversation, and very dim light for
dancing and other activities. If you have an outdoor fireplace or fire pit,
clean it up and let it enhance your party. It will be cozy, especially if the
evening grows chill. Decorate it using rocks or stones, if you think more
greenery won’t work. If you have a swimming pool, be sure to take advantage of
the opportunity to light it dramatically, maybe with floating candles or
spotlights. Finally, use special table service and beverage cups/glasses; find
table covers and napkins that coordinate with your theme. Make your outdoor
space inviting, comfortable, and festive, and you will have the best party ever.
