a magically enchanting get-together

A Night To Remember

Summer nights are when the stars glitter extra bright in the navy sky, when the crickets chirp their tunes, and the warm breezes whisper through the willows. Sounds like a pretty perfect night for a mid-summer get together with the girls, or friends and family. 

Plan your charming soiree in the backyard with these OBTC recipes and tools.

SETTING THE STAGE

The term "soiree" itself is enchanting, so fix up the space of your gathering to be memorable and magical. Here's some ideas:

1. Use festive tablecloths and napkins to pair with vintage mismatched dishes for an added quirky charm.
2. String lights over the yard or around trees, and use candles to create a glimmering and glowy ambience.
3. Take indoor plants out for the night to decorate the space or gather wildflowers to make centerpieces.
