Host your very own vintage-style garden party
1. Put out the flags
Capture the very heart of the vintage English garden party by decking your outdoor space with a decorative flurry of bunting. And nothing makes a vintage statement better than this charming blue gingham and Union Jack bunting from Dotcomgiftshop.
2. Dress your table for success
Add a little vintage glamour to your outdoor table by dressing it up in a beautiful tablecloth. A splash of vintage-style floral will make your spread appear all the more deliciously chic. Get your guests’ mouths watering with this adorable tablecloth from the queen of florals, Cath Kidston.
3. Time for tea
With tea very much a garden party staple, make sure your event isn’t thirsty for style by selecting a vintage statement teapot to sit as a table centrepiece. Celebrating over a century of English craftsmanship, who better to be a guest at your garden party than Royal Albert with their exquisite Memory Lane bone china teapot, designed in the classic baroque Montrose shape.
4. A sweet treat
No garden party would be complete without a beautiful display of homemade cakes. But for hygiene purposes, it’s best to keep them covered up. Show-off your gorgeous culinary skills with this classic shaped glass covered cake stand from Cocomale, ideal for keeping cakes fresh throughout the day.
5. Hampers for old-fashioned style
For a garden party on a smaller scale, you might like to consider investing in a traditional picnic basket and having a smaller spread on your lawn. This gorgeous
Optima Traditional Picnic Basket from PrezzyBox comes in a lovely Cottage Garden design, with sustainable willow basket, cotton napkins, ceramic plates, cutlery, and a choice of wine glasses or cups.
6. Shabby? More like chic.
Jazz up even the shabbiest of chairs and make them look inviting to your guests by adding a little vintage-style padding. These cute reversible seat pads from La Maison boast a vintage French floral on one side, and a candy stripe on the reverse – just perfect for elegant behinds!
7. Service with a smile
As the perfect host, make sure your guests’ plates and glasses are never empty by serving up your delicious treats, from a vintage-style cake trolley. This beautiful rosewood carved trolley from Amazon, which comes complete with a detachable serving tray, and opens up as a table is ideal to make you the host or hostess with the mostess.
8. Shade with sartorial conscience
In true English garden party style, weather is bound to be a topic of conversation, so offer your guests a little shade from the sun, with a decorative vintage-style sun parasol. Make a bold and glamorous vintage statement with this Victoriana-shaped cream umbrella with tassels, from Burford.
9. In full swing
Add a touch of vintage romance to your garden party with a feature swing bench, ideal for couples. Sneak away from the crowd for a little together-time this traditional regency-striped, swinging hammock bench from Amazon which comes with a weather-proof canopy.
10. Twilight-lighting
As the sun begins to set on your garden party and twilight settles in, create a warm, romantic glow from the trees, tables, and paths with some vintage-style candle lanterns. These pretty glass lanterns from Not on the High Street bear the words ‘Fete au Jardin,’ and have room for a tea light. What better way to leave a lasting impression on guests than with a little candlelit chic.
