It’s finally almost summer – and with longer days and the end of school looming, the outdoors beckons! Blue skies and sunshine draw us outside and inspire us to plan backyard parties and barbecues. Whether you are expecting a few close friends or hosting the big holiday bash, flowers are always a great way to liven up the décor.

If you have a backyard porch or deck and have people coming over, an easy way to spruce up the decorations is with garden arrangements and hanging baskets. By placing hydrangea, kalanchoe, green plants, or daisies around the perimeter of your space, you create the feel of a freshly picked garden or relaxing in the meadow. Especially if you do not have flowers planted in the yard, these baskets will add color and vibrancy. Sit on ledges, or hang on shepherd’s hooks around the area – and immerse your guests in florals. Don’t forget to check if the plants do well in full sun or shade, and place accordingly for the healthiest plants.

If you are hosting a garden party or any celebration in which you will be setting up tables – take a cue from the wedding planners and design centerpieces to complement the theme of the day. Daisies and snapdragons for a picnic, roses for a romantic affair, or orchids for a black-tie event – no matter your choice, your tables will look spectacular. These beautiful floral arrangements can also be given away in a raffle or creative contest, adding a bit of fun to your party.

Flowers are an easy yet elegant décor touch that will transform the look of your party. Call Ah Sam Flowers to discuss your plans, and let us help you to add just the right accent, whether a party of 2 or 200. We look forward to celebrating the summer with you!
