It's all about the little details that go into a dinner party that makes it truly stand out. Summertime is all about bringing the parties outdoors. It's definitely time to use your outdoor space efficiently. However, do you think it might be a lot of work to bring your dinner party outdoors? Well, it's definitely not and Wedding and Party Network has a few tips and ideas to create a simple, yet stunning outdoor dinner party.
Create a Beautiful Setting
It's all about creating a nice ambience in your backyard. So,what do you need to do to create this setting? Do you know someone who has a nice, white tent? If not, you can always create your own. Just find 4 poles and drape white fabric in the middle of it. Doing this in a nice rectangular area is nice to create room for that long dinner table. A white tent truly adds a bit of elegance to your outdoor dinner party and immediately helps set the tone.
Now that you have a beautiful white tent, it's time to jazz it up a bit. Yes, this tent could definitely stand alone. However, what about draping some lights or even finding a chandelier to hang from the middle of the tent?
Another nice detail that will definitely help the tone is candles. Candles are an absolute must. You can either go with various types of candles. Set up tiki torches, lanterns to light up the pathway, hang clear plastic cups with fishing wire with led lights, string Christmas lights throughout the trees and scatter tealight candles down the table. It's all about the lighting for this party.
Choosing the Right Colors
Now that you have all the basic elements, it's time to choose your color scheme for this party. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any color combination for this party. If you're definitely going for a formal affair, go with black. From there, you can pair black with anything. Choose white, pacific blue, hot pink, red or even a fun yellow. All of these colors would work.
Once you have chosen your party colors, you can start buying decor. Don't think you have to go all out with the decor. Focus on finding vases that go with the theme and style of your dinner party. You can even take the vases or talk with your florist about the type of vases you would like and discuss them making an event centerpiece. All dinner parties need a beautiful arrangement to display.
Lets not forget about the tableware. Think about mixing and matching patterns. Find a striped black and white table-cloth and patterned tableware. You can go to your local party store and find acrylic plates and bowls. Mix and match the colors and patterns to create a beautiful statement on the table.
You see, it's all in the details when creating a simple, yet stunning dinner party. It's all about the details.
