Soak up the Rest of the Season With a White Summer Party

A white summer party.

This party is very special for me. There have been a few occasions I wore my wedding dress when I was the hostess.

The venue is in the garden while in full bloom. Lace your small trees and shrubs with tiny white lights.

The guests wear all white attire.

Use all white china, napkins, tablecloths, crystal and your finest silverware. Use white satin bows on the chairs.

The centerpiece for the table is made with fresh peppermint herb, baby breath, and white petite roses. You can use any white flower as an alternative. Use clear vases covered with a white satin bow.

Serve a decorative white sheet cake with white frosting. I prefer a tier version of the cake.

Serve clear beverages, from water to champagne. Choose easy listening music . . . my preference is classical music. Use plenty of scented tea lights.

This is a night of elegance and enchantment in the garden. A summer night that sparkles with white.

Have a Great Day!
