Summer is just around the corner and the celebrations are moving outside. Of course, this includes a proper barbecue party. Not only should the food be an eye-catcher, the table decoration should also be remembered. Here we will show you how you can conjure up beautiful table decorations with just a few simple steps and craft instructions. We have a few suggestions for you on how to make your table decoration a highlight.
The food itself can also set the table. Colorful salads, rustic dishes, dips, finger food - provide your party guests with all kinds of delicacies that not only taste wonderful, but also look good. A buffet table is a good choice for a barbecue party where no one is seated anyway, basically to-go. Visually appealing and always popular.
If you have invited fewer guests to your party and it is not a standing party with a buffet table, you can have a fewFlowers the tabledecorate nicely. Mason jars are very suitable for this. These can be filled with decorative sand or stones, add water and place the flowers you want in them. A few flowers floating on the water also make a nice decoration.
Flowers are ideal as table decorations, especially for a garden party. Since the table is in the great outdoors anyway, a common thread is drawn. You don't even have to spend a lot of money at the flower shop to get pretty flowers for decoration. A few wild flowers from the overgrown meadow look unconventional and chic.
You can decorate not only on the table, but also on the chairs. Wild flowers and some greenery are also suitable here to create an overall picture. The best way to do this is to tie the flowers together with a thin wire and then attach them to the chair. Silk ribbons can also be included. Alternatively, you can also place the flowers in a glass.
If the flowers or blossoms on the table take up too much space, you can also place them in a mason jar on a nearby tree and attach it to the tree with a silk ribbon or organza ribbon. Make sure the glass is securely attached. Again, any type of flowers you like are suitable. Colorfully mixed, the bouquet has a summery look.
The flowers do not have to be placed on the table in conventional vases. If the preserving jar is too boring for you, you can also use a pretty glass bottle or convert it into a pretty vase using a few craft tricks. To do this, you can take coarse linen fabric and glue it to the vase. This goes well with crochet fabric, which can be combined wildly. For more difficult shapes, such as the bottle that has been converted into a candle holder, yarn that is wrapped and glued around the bottle is suitable. The more bottles you use as candle holders, the more beautiful the table decoration will look at night.
If you don't like putting up real flowers or want something a little more unusual, you can make these peonies out of napkins. These can sit on the table or be hung over the table. There are no limits to the ideas here. For the napkin roses, proceed as follows:
1. Place the folded napkin in front of you, with the closed side up and the half-open side to the left.
2. Tear off a 1 centimeter wide strip on the left.
3. Unfold the napkin and make a fan out of it.
4. Tie the torn strip around the middle of the fan so that the napkin looks like a bow tie.
5. Now carefully pluck each individual layer of paper towards the middle. Repeat on both sides.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 again for the second half of the rose ball.
7. Now tie both halves together with twine.
Homemade lemonade is part of a real barbecue party in summer when temperatures are high. For one liter, squeeze about 6 lemons and mix them with about 800 milliliters of water and 80 grams of sugar. This refreshing thirst quencher needs to be presented accordingly. Take mason jars or other glasses that suit your taste and decorate them with a silk ribbon, colorful straws and a flower. Lavender provides a nice contrast to the color of the lemonade and is not poisonous. You can also write names on the ribbons and use them as place cards.
A completely different way to celebrate a barbecue party is the following variant. Who needs a table on a warm summer day? A normal Euro pallet is also sufficient. If this is covered with linen fabric, the result is a very natural style. Combined with a red color and these rustic materials, this table decoration blends in with nature and simply looks rustic and cozy.
