Making the most of the beauty in your backyard.
BY JULIE PARTIN
WHEN HOSTING A GROUP OR COMPANION, LOOK NO FARTHER THAN YOUR own outdoor space. Of course, shade or evening time slots are recommended to beat the heat.
Flowers or elements of greenery from your garden make a simple and glamorous centerpiece and table accents. White plates and napkins are the perfect backdrop for a sprig of ivy placed beside a small piece of fruit. Light options, such as lemon hummus paired with white wine, will keep the vibe lively — and the fresh air, chirping birds and sounds of nature in the summer are certain to accentuate your quality time together.
