Sunshine days and breezy nights call for fresh, fun meals outside. Don’t forget that no table is complete without freshly-cut flowers.
The days are still long and warm, so take the party outside – there are lots of creative things you can do to make your garden look festive, writes Marian van Wyk:
- Wrap fairy lights around a tree or railings. Try the Lighting Warehouse (011 201 2621) for lights that are suitable to use outside.
- Place big, chunky candles in glass holders and let them light the way to your front door. Pack pebbles in the bottom to keep them secure.
- Hang lanterns from trees. Fireflies were the inspiration for the romantic Jar Lights (R300) shown above, by artist Nix Davies (www.nixdavies.com). Each glass holder has a string of fairy lights with its own battery. Available from Meekel.co.za
