Summer Party Trends for Guest and Hostess

Memorial Day and the official kick off for summer is right around the corner.  And we all know how much I dig summer time!  One reason is summer is prime season for weddings, parties, and all kinds of outdoor get-togethers.  Just my kind of doings! 

To help us make the most of our summer events, Morgan Moore from M&M Consignment and M&M Event Rentals is here to give us the official scoop on the easy, natural looks of this summer’s hottest party trends.  From table settings to the answer to everybody’s most dreaded question-  “What in the world am I going to wear?”-  Morgan shares what she knows to make sure this summer’s get-togethers are our best yet.

So.  First, let’s talk those summer wedding/party tables.

A good table is enough to make me down right weak in the knees, and this one has all the elements to cause a full-on swoon. 

This season it’s all about mixing the rustic with special elements to create layers of interest and texture.  Why not dress a farm table with a sequined runner, gorgeous satin napkins, and a little china?

Blush and shimmering gold win the day with loads of greenery that run the length of the table. 

Gold hoops with greenery and just a touch of floral are perfect to hang from trees or arrange as a backdrop on a wall.

Altogether, the look is soft, natural, and romantic.  Little details make this summer party or wedding table special without being fussy.

With such a fabulous table, it’s important to show up as a guest or hostess with glamour to match.  Summer readily lends itself to the easy look and feel of a Boho style dress.  Off the shoulder or ‘cold shoulder’ cut outs are the perfect choice for a breezy summer party look that shows off just the right amount of tan.  A bright necklace adds that bit of color that summer is known for.  Layers of bracelets and bangles complete that easy, natural summer feel. 

All in all, summer is the best time to spend time with the people you enjoy the most.  Whether as guest or summer party planner, this season is looking to be the most fabulous yet!
