Backyard Beautiful: Entertaining Under the Stars (Part 2)

Another Friday, another series, and here we are with part 2 in our 5 parter of 'Entertaining Under the Stars'.  Last week brought you all sorts of outdoor dining goodness, from a terrace tea party to a Moroccan picnic and this week's backyard beauty will not disappoint.

Let's kick things off with a sweet supper in the orchard . . .

And a Provencal Picnic . . .

Why not hang a lantern or two . . .

Or just string up a few vases of flowers . . .

The shade of a tree is always a nice spot for a spread . . .

Or how about a Glamorous Girl's Night Get-Together . . .

No picnic table?  No worries, the bed of a truck will do just fine . . .

And campground confectioneries are usually a hit . . .

Perhaps, lucky you, your backyard is the beach?

Do I see a ruffle cake?  Fab.

There.  I hope you are feeling inspired and are all set to cut that grass and wipe down your patio furniture for dinner with friends this weekend.  Have a wonderful one and enjoy that lovely August sunshine while you still can:)
