Alfresco Patio Party

With the weather warming up, now is a perfect time to celebrate the outdoors creating bright tablescapes. With the debi lilly design™ summer collection in stores now and my favorite stylist tips below, we have everything you need for this season’s entertaining and décor.

  1. One of my favorites is to use a collection of debi lilly design™ Illusion Vases in varying heights down the table. Here, I used them to display on-trend and eco-friendly succulents. I love showcasing succulents because they are striking and can withstand the heat. Place them on top of mossy filler inside a collection of the Illusion Vases for a long-lasting centerpiece.

 

2. Wrapping paper runner is a great, budget friendly way to add color to your design. Dress up your patio table by placing wrapping paper across each place setting in a bright color that will accent your decor. This way, you can avoid purchasing new, expensive linens while adding a bright pop of color, texture and detail to the table.

 

3. Another creative way to tie your décor into the summer theme is to fill a set of small lanterns or candleholders with petite floral arrangements. There are so many ways to repurpose décor in new and exciting ways. For this design, I filled the St. Tropez candleholders with the new debi lilly design™ Sensational Spray Roses. For your next event, fill them with votive candles for a fresh look. Your table will have thoughtful layers that will add interest and detail to the overall design.

 

By incorporating on-trend colors, florals and collections of repurposed tabletop décor pieces, you have the key to designing an elegant and delightful party. Find the debi lilly design™ collection in the floral department.
