- Divine Decorations for Your Wedding and Party - Ideas and Inspiration

Say 'I do' to the perfect favours

Whether you're choosing to wed in your own back garden, opting for a beautiful traditional church ceremony or jetting off to altogether more tropical climates, choosing seasonal wedding favours and complimenting the balmy summertime weather is a must for any summer 'I do's'.

Party delights for every occasion

Choosing matching party decorations for your summer get together is a wonderful way to set the occasion and create a memorable, fun and laid back atmosphere. Whether you're hosting a slightly mad birthday bash, an evening dinner party with champers on ice, or a simple BBQ with family in the glorious sunshine, we've got inspiration for everyone.

Summertime wedding - getting it right

Treat guests to a taste of the season and send them home with ripe pears adorned with personalised ribbon, or compliment a sunny seaside theme by creating wedding favour boxes of seashells filled with ivory almonds. July and August are also prime months for unique favours such as small potted plants or organza bags filled with seeds. If you're lucky enough to be marrying the man of your dreams barefoot on an idyllic beach, leave small wooden fans on your guests' seats or hand out delicate fairy tale parasols for a little added shade during the ceremony.

Delightful parties - getting it right

Looking to create a simple, summer get together? Throw gingham table clothes over your dining table and pick handfuls of fresh flowers from your garden to place in a milk bottle or vase in the centre of your seating plan. Choose fun, floral party decorations in pastel shades and treat guests to matching plates and bowls. Try placing sweet party picks in your sausages rolls or spooning delicious ice cream into you coordinated table wear. Don't forget the party poppers, balloons or even summer petals to adorn your table top! Put the finishing touches to your alfresco atmosphere by stringing pretty bunting in trees or across fences and add a little magic in the evening by lighting paths with twinkling lanterns and letting guests loose with sky lanterns as a finale to your event.
