Get Your Garden Ready for a Jubilee Garden Party to Remember by Crown Gardens and Landscapes is year the Queen, and the rest of the country, will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. A er 70 years on the throne, the longest of any British monarch, we think it’s the perfect excuse for you to get the bunting out and throw your own Jubilee garden party. With the weather nally warming up, what better way to get friends and family together to celebrate over the extended bank holiday weekend? We’ve thrown together a handful of ideas to help you make the most of the long weekend and celebrate in style in your garden. Outdoor pizza ovens If you’ve never used a pizza oven before they are a lot of fun. But even better, they make pizza taste incredible and turn your garden into an outdoor kitchen that’s perfect for summer. Your guests will love making their own pizza and cooking it. Outdoor rugs ink a rug is just for inside your house? It’s time to abandon the rug rule book. An outdoor rug can bring a lot of style to your outdoor patio or decking area. Bright and bold or natural neutrals – it’s perfect for transforming a bland outdoor space into a vibrant Jubilee garden party place. What’s great about outdoor rugs is that they can create a really cosy outdoor area that takes you through from day to night. And they can cover up a shabby patio or decking area – just throw it down, arrange a few planters and pots nearby and your outdoor space is a chic blend of outside and inside. Porcelain tiles If you’re really looking to splash out, a new porcelain tile patio is the perfect choice to create a Jubilee garden party space. Less porous than natural stone tiles, any spills from your party food and drink can be wiped up easily and it won’t stain. A porcelain patio makes a real stylish statement, but if you’re a er something a little less burdensome on your budget then a good power wash will have your old patio looking new. Accessorise Perfecting your Jubilee garden party look and feel is all in the accessorising. We’re talking large, squishy oor cushions, twinkling fairy or festoon lights, bright and bold bunting and some garden torches to give you ambient lighting once it gets dark. Whether you go with a British theme or one of your own, there are so many ways that you can create the perfect party atmosphere. row in some large oor cushions and grab some candle torches and your Jubilee garden party atmosphere will be complete. If you’re celebrating over the bank holiday weekend then we’d love to see your garden party pictures!
