Dreamy outdoor spaces.

Now that patio season is finally upon us we thought it would be fun to share some beautiful ideas and inspiration for your next outdoor dinner party. (Aren't outdoor parties just the best?)

This combination of rustic place settings, wild flowers, and a lace table cloth gives off such a whimsical romantic feel. So pretty.

The perfect floral centerpiece.

Love this canopy of light bulbs. How gorgeous would this look in the evening light?

The perfect backyard picnic brunch with friends. I really like how all of the benches are facing each other! Makes for a wonderful circle of conversation.

I already have one of these wicker swings hanging in my living room, but what a great idea to move it outside on a sunny summer afternoon!


Happy hosting! XO

  3. The floral centrepiece is gorgeous - the flowers are such a perfect shade of coral.

    And the tree trunk place setting photo - ugh I wish I had a yard! Damn apartment living! Haha.

    Good thing there is a huge park nearby to spend summer days, and a friend's yard for BBQ's at night.

    Lovely post, thanks for sharing.

  13. I've fallen in love with this blog. I wish I had a garden, but sadly I'm limited to a small balcony (though that's probably best, I'm quite bad with plants).
    Would it be very rude to ask people to take a look at my blog? It's so horrible, I know, I know, but I literally just made it today and have no idea how to get people to look at it. I'm sorry!

    PS: hanging seats are brilliant, I'd love to have one. Maybe one day.... sigh.
