Do you have spring fever?
As the weather warms up and flowers start to bloom, we all get a little excited to see the spring season come to life! Spring is the perfect time to invite friends and family over for some home entertaining! Whether you're hosting a casual outdoor BBQ or a formal dinner party, there are plenty of ways to make your home feel welcoming and festive for the season. Here are some ideas to help you get started for your next fantastic event!
Create a stunning centrepiece
Fresh flowers and greenery are a beautiful addition to any table. While creating your arrangement play with height and texture to create visual interest. You can do this by choosing a variety of different flowers to add to your vase and then by cutting them at different angles. Dried arrangements are another option for your centrepiece that is sustainable and filled with colour. They can be used again and again while entertaining and as home decor!
Set the mood with lighting
What is a dinner party without a little ambiance? With the warm weather here to stay, dining can now happen on the patio! Hanging some outdoor string lights or lanterns can add a warm glow over the table that is soft and inviting. Candles and fairy lights can also be used to create a cozy atmosphere your guests will love!
Choose a colour scheme
Spring is the season of beautiful pastel colours! Why not incorporate a few bright, cheerful colours like yellow, pink, or green into your decor to create a spring look? You can do this with your choice of tableware, linens and floral arrangements!
Serve light and fresh food
Spring is the perfect time to embrace fresh produce and delicious food with friends! We suggest swapping out heavy winter staples for lighter dishes like salads, grilled veggies, and simple appetizers. Keep the night refreshing and sweet by offering guests lemonade, iced tea or sparkling water infused with fruits.
Play upbeat music
An outdoor event calls for some fun tunes! Keeping the mood light and happy has a lot to do with the music you play! Create a playlist that makes you feel relaxed and upbeat when you listen to it, that way everyone will kick back and enjoy it!
Start with a signature cocktail
Kick off the night by offering guests a fun and refreshing signature cocktail. This is the perfect way to make the evening one to remember! We suggest creating a springtime spritzer or a fruity sangria, both are perfect for a crowd! If you want to get creative, design a sign with a picture of the cocktail with its ingredients listed for guests to order from!
Create a DIY food or drink station
Guests will love a little DIY snack moment at your next event! Whether it be self-serve tacos, a stacked dessert bar, or a salty popcorn stand! Guests will love to grab a treat and take photos of your amazing creation!
Have fun with your decor
Spring is the perfect time to spruce up your backyard patio for yourself and your guests to enjoy. Do a little landscaping in the yard, and add a few plants, comfortable furniture and spring decor to make the patio space party perfect!
Overall, the key is to keep your spring home entertaining light, fresh, and fun. With the right decor, food, and drinks, you can make your guests feel right at home and welcome in the new season. We hope these suggestions make your next event that much more special!
