It’s finally almost summertime! And although we don’t experience the change of seasons like many, longer days, and the end of school mean that we will be spending more time outside. Backyard parties and beach gatherings in the evening are among our favorite ways to beat the heat and enjoy these lazy days. When planning your outdoor gathering – whether you invite just a few close friends, or are planning a barbecue bash for the whole neighborhood – s are an easy yet beautiful way to spruce up the venue.

Back patios and lanais are perfect places to gather, but may be a bit harsh for s while the sun is at its highest. An easy way to keep s fresh and still beautifully decorate your outdoor spaces for parties is with potted plants and floral arrangements from Al’s Florist. Do you have people coming over? Simply move the plants from indoors to outdoor shade or early evening sunlight. Arrange around the entire space for the feeling of sitting in the middle of a garden, without the difficulty of keeping fresh s growing in South Florida heat. Sit your arrangements on ledges or steps, or suspend on hooks – and surround your guests in natural beauty.

If you are planning a beach soiree, a garden party or any celebration with dinner tables – take a suggestion from traditional wedding décor, and create centerpieces that will perfectly express the feeling of the party. From fresh cut wilds on a red checkered picnic table to orchids and roses for a formal affair – no matter your party theme, your tables will look stunning with a unique Al’s Florist floral display. Flowers are a simple yet sophisticated decorating element that will add drama and beauty to your plans. Call us to discuss your ideas, and let us help you to create just the right florals for your special occasion.
