I had the brilliant idea of throwing a summer dinner party for my pals. I had high expectations. Many of the concepts were very expensive to implement. It seemed almost impossible with a zero-dollar budget.
As the date approached, I considered the sensation I wanted to retain with me from my 28th birthday. So, without a huge budget to engage a full team of pros, how could I host the birthday dinner party of my dreams?
Party Planning
I used cushions from my living room as well as candles I had on hand. My kitchen’s glasses, cutlery, napkins, and plates were used. I went out and bought a few things to round out my guest list. In our kitchen, we had white plates that worked well with the style I was striving for.
Mix-matched dishes can also look great. To add some practical design, I utilized my own serving bowls. We also had actual silverware from Joel’s grandmother, which I mixed with dinner forks and dessert forks to ensure that we had enough for all of the guests.
Decorations
To add dimension to your table, you might purchase textured, colorful taper candles. I utilized a combination of beeswax, pink, and white candles in varying textures and heights. I used the gold candle holders from my dining room table to match them.
A table runner literally puts the focus on your table. It adds texture and dimension to your room while also acting as a frame for the rest of your decor. A linen runner on top of the wood table completed the look.
Bamboo is a stylish alternative if you don’t want to use your own glassware and plates. I adore the look of natural wood, and bamboo’s natural appearance complements any modern dinner party flawlessly. You can dump the bamboo plates and silverware on top of your compost pile if you have one. Make sure you have a small bin on hand so that everyone can easily put their trash in one place to compost later.
The mood of the evening is set by the right lighting. Our terrace is adorned with patio lighting. The mood was wonderful when I coupled these with candles.
