Garden Party Themes

A great theme can elevate a garden party to new heights! A theme helps guide decor and food while allowing you to create an immersive experience for your guests. Fruit, flowers, and greenery provide a wide array of options for you to draw inspiration for a great theme.

Are you thinking modern or classic? Whimsical or bold? Bright or pastel? Or maybe a little of everything? Don’t be afraid to mix contrasting elements! Nature is naturally diverse and distinct, so let your imagination run free and create a theme that’s outside of the box!

Garden Party Decor Inspiration

Fresh flowers and plants are a must when it comes to garden party decor. Natural elements bring bright pops of color that make your table and overall decor stand out. Keep your celebration visually interesting with cohesive color and mismatching place settings to give your table some character and to leave your guests intrigued.

Garden Party Menu

A well-rounded menu completes your garden party theme and keeps your guests full! Fresh produce and homegrown food are impressive options if you want to bring your garden theme into every element of your party. A drink station stocked with light beverages is a fun and functional way to keep your guests hydrated.
