White Themed Garden Party Ideas

A white garden party exudes: luxury, opulence, and whimsy - FINE readers are people who enjoy and appreciate being treated to these finer parts of life, especially when combined with socializing, the outdoors and our own wonderful treasures. These ideas will help you host an all white elegant garden party.

Decorations

With flowers beginning to bloom and the dream–like haze of May Grey, every yard is easily transformed into a magical oasis. With a few simple additions, such as floating candles in glass votives, white feathers, satin ribbons and trickling water, you can easily create a softness to accentuate the overcast warmth that permeates Southern California in spring. Adding these subtle touches lends your space a comfort for guests to relax while chatting and enjoying themselves. 

Everyone knows that a party isn’t a party without the right food and drink. Pinterest has become a great resource for not only decorating ideas, but delicacies to add to your table. Continuing with the white theme, recipes for treats such as Sacura Jelly sculptures,  strawberry cookies with white chocolate chunks, baked fontina garlic cheese dip and limoncello cupcakes can add to the fun and originality of your theme. Drinks like the Coconut Vanilla Bellini, White Cosmopolitan and White Orchid Martini can also add  extra fun, while floral ice cubes are an easy and elegant addition.

Guide

This all–white theme of food, drink and décor provides sophistication while allowing the beauty of spring to shine. Festive flower petals or other signs of spring make the celebration seasonal. Hanging flowers from your own garden or farmers market is an easy way to create class with a minimalistic approach. A few chandelier lights hanging from trees (or stands, if no trees are available) and a canopy of draping curtains transform your space with style, grace and, most importantly, ease. Supplies can be found at almost any party rental store and you can visit Wax and Whimsy in Solana Beach for candles (mention this article and receive 20% off at Wax and Whimsy!).
