Hostess Tips:
To create a spring ambiance, opt for hosting your dinner outside if the weather permits. If it is still a little cold out after the sun goes down, you can offer cozy blankets or have a few gas heaters out. Regardless of whether your event is indoors or outdoors, provide plenty of flower arrangements and greenery (such as potted ivies or ferns). These can be used on your dinner table, buffet, or drink station – more is better!
Decoration Ideas:
- Floral centerpieces: Use a variety of fresh flowers in bright colors to create beautiful arrangements as the centerpiece of each table.
- Pastel color scheme: Incorporate soft pastel shades like lavender, pink, and baby blue in your tablecloths, napkins, and other decor elements to create a serene and calming atmosphere.
- Spring-inspired table settings: Use natural elements like bird nests, butterflies, and other spring-themed decorations to accent your table settings.
- Outdoor lighting: If your event is taking place outdoors, string fairy lights or lanterns to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere as the sun goes down.
- Potted plants: Place potted plants throughout the event space to add a touch of greenery and fresh air. You could even use herbs like mint or lavender for a lovely fragrance.
