Backyard Entertaining

Well it has been a wee bit between posts. Things have been rather quiet since the holidays. However wedding season is almost upon us, so I'm sure things will start to pick up shortly. Wedding Season is just one type of event where the use of LED is a staple in most centerpieces and effect lighting. However, when I think wedding I can't help but think that spring/summer BBQ's are just around the corner as well! It's always fun to play with new tableware, plates, glasses, napkins, chair covers, cute place setting cards and accents. Why not incorporate some lighting to go with your fun and funky creations! Floralytes are a great addition, I've said it before and I'll say it again, they can be added to your drinks, centerpieces, trays of food, they really can be put anywhere. Your table umbrella can be the focal point of your table by hanging floralytes I or II and maybe twine a flower around the string for an added touch of summer, fresh or fake! Do you have a pool? Try floating some LED lilies in various colours or maybe just one colour with an RGB bulb. What about your garden? Sure we all have the solar powered lanterns but what about an added punch of light in your flower pots or lawn ornaments? Ponds are another great spot to place lighting, what about a floating lantern? Flameless candles staggered in various sizes around your pool or deck on stairs or rails looks stunning and have a calm serene effect on your atmosphere. You can really change the ambiance of any room be it indoors or out with just a bit of light. So many possibilities...Transform your next backyard party into something magical. You don't have to break the bank to throw an amazing party, a few key elements placed in the right location can make all the difference! You don't have to be a professional. Be the pro of your own party, with the right product and a little imagination your creations will have your guests wondering who you hired to decorate!
