With our superb garden furniture and accessories, your outdoor parties will be unforgettable, as long as you don't forget the atmosphere creators, such as multi-coloured air bags and fun light strings, as well as the essential partners, ranging from crockery for aperitifs to parasols. Find ideas for your next party with friends. We'll give you some tips for entertaining your guests.
Decor a la Pinterest
To complete the party, in addition to cool guests, good music and food, the right decoration is fundamental. Before buying any decorative items, take a look at platforms like Pinterest or Instagram and think about a theme for the evening. That way, you'll have a lot of fun preparing it, and setting it up will be easier too. The photos will be more interesting and you'll still know years later which party it was just by looking at the photo. This year, pink flamingos and cacti are simply a must.
Lighting
Play on some beautiful ambient lighting as soon as night falls. Use pretty string lights, as well as Finnish fires, lanterns or candle holders to set stylish accents.
Wreaths
A good mix is in order. Garlands and balloons already lend a festive atmosphere in broad daylight and are easy to combine with string lights.
Photo styling
You only need a few small coloured accessories that your guests can incorporate into the images to get some great photos. Organising a background especially for the photos is also a good alternative.

Prepare places to sit
On the floor, on armchairs or at tables. The longer a party goes on, the more places you need to sit. Luckily there are so many eye-pleasing solutions that lend a festive atmosphere.
Flexible relaxation corners
With beach towels, blankets and cushions, you can create a relaxing corner that you can move around as you please and that invites relaxation. We love: inflatable floral armchairs that are easy to store and take up little space.
Garden seating and dining tables
Archairs are a durable and comfortable solution. Some living room furniture stands out for its flexibility. You can move them around as you please and complement them with colourful cushions. Garden benches and extending tables are ideal if you're hosting large meals.
Parasols
If your party is already starting in the afternoon, make sure there's enough shade. Parasols also give your garden a seaside resort feel.
Setting the table
Dishes
We also eat with our eyes: with beautiful dishes, you won't just surprise your guests with your delicious food.
Towels and tablecloths
Set a beautiful table with little details like napkins. Printed paper or fabric napkins, combined with colourful tableware and tablecloths add a little extra to your table decoration.
Arrangement
If not everyone can sit at the table at the same time, you can also cover the garden table with a tablecloth and turn it into a buffet, not forgetting crockery and accessories. Fresh flowers and plants such as lavender or basil, which can also be eaten, complete the overall picture and perfume the surroundings.
The power of flowers
Mark special occasions with fresh flowers. Place vases on tables and other flat surfaces.
Happy Hour
Depending on what your guests like to drink, choose for glasses that are suitable for several types of beverage. Don't forget the shaker for preparing certain cocktails. Instead of salad bowls, you can opt for trendy drinks dispensers - everyone can serve themselves as they please. Plastic cups are also very practical and lightweight.
It can sometimes be useful to put labels on food and drinks. This way, each of your guests knows what they're eating or drinking. Nice side effect: you can give free rein to your creativity and place additional decorative accents.
