Decorate for an elegant garden party

Simple centrepieces
Opt for relaxed simplicity over tight, fussy centrepieces. Dining tables were dressed with groupings of five small vases, each filled with a different flower, encompassing various heights, textures, shapes and scents. An assembly line of friends and family cut flower stems to the appropriate length and propped them casually in the vases. Low arrangements of stephanotis, hydrangeas, spider chrysanthemums and star of Bethlehem allow for easy conversation.
