Selina Lake’s Great British Garden Party styling tips

Hosting a Great British Garden Party? Stylist Selina Lake has put together some useful tips on how to style your table to impress your guests…

Selina’s top tips

  1. Adopt a colour theme – be inspired by items you already own along with the flowers blooming in your garden
  2. The garden doesn’t have to be perfect, accept the weeds & focus on making the space clutter free 
  3. A few flowers go along way, rather than one big arrangement, make two of three loose posies arranged in different height vases
  4. Bunting will instantly give a party feel, suspend garlands above your table 
  5. Add cushions to metal or wooden garden chairs to make them more comfy they will also add pattern & colour to the space
  6. Have candles at the ready in case the party continues till dusk
  7. Pick the best spot in garden for your table, a spot which get the afternoon sun, under a laden apple tree or in front of late floral blooms
