Redesigning your yard might seem overwhelming, but you’ll be surprised just how easily you can transform your space. Check out a few of our favorite backyard tips below!

Brighten Your Porch or Outdoor Dinner Table with Bold Hues

During the summer, florals in brighter hues always take center stage, so don’t miss your opportunity to show them off! A go-to summer look is to incorporate complementary color combinations such as fuchsia and orange or yellow and purple. Using bold complementary colors in arrangements is an easy way to make a statement and give your space style. During the summertime, we love to take advantage of bold hues that will really pop against fresh green grass and a clear blue sky.

Use Color as a Theme for your Event

If you’re struggling to come up with a theme for an event or dinner party, remember that you can easily create theme just by using color. If you’re looking to celebrate on a budget, consider using flatware and décor that you already own and base your flower design from there. Remember that centerpieces can also utilize non-floral elements that you already own. When creating a tablescape using objects you already own, consider keeping the theme monochromatic as to not overwhelm the design.

Spruce up Table Décor with Simple bud Vases

A simple and creative way to add colorful décor to the table is to add clusters of small vases or bud vases throughout the center of your outdoor dining table. You can use the same arrangement multiple times or change up the styles, sizes and florals to add dimension and variance.

Utilize Non-floral Elements like Fruits and Vegetables

If you’re designing arrangement for specific event, take them the next level by incorporating bright fruits and vegetables! This non-floral element can add extra color and texture to your outdoor tablescape. Watermelons, pineapples and cantaloupes can even be used as a vase for your arrangement! Mixing in florals with fruits and vegetables is a perfect way to bring flowers into a backyard BBQ or dinner party. These arrangements are the perfect wow-factor which will invite your guests as they arrive.

Potted Plants to Highlight Your Backyard

Incorporate large plants to your backyard to create a lush oasis for the season. Adding plants around your pool can highlight a simple space and give it a new feel. Certain plants such as mini palm trees are long-lasting and need minimal upkeep! With regular watering, they're not only easy to maintain but can transform your entire backyard. You can choose a wide array of plants ranging from tropical varieties to fruit trees.
