Focus on naturalness…
Try to decorate your garden so that it looks as natural as possible and not completely dressed up. People should feel like they're outdoors, so stripes, polka dots, and floral patterns always create a cheerful mood. The natural look works especially well with bunting, pompoms, honeycomb balls, or pretty lanterns hung in the trees.
The zinc bowls used to cool drinks bottles also contribute to the natural look. Tables can be decorated with small bouquets from the garden – many small vases are best for this, so the view of the person sitting opposite isn't obstructed.
…and on sustainability
Try to avoid plastic dishes and cutlery. Choose either regular dishes or eco-friendly paper plates and cups, and use wooden cutlery. Straws don't always have to be plastic either; there are great paper versions with colorful stripes or pretty floral patterns that add a pop of color.
