Garden decorations for your summer barbeques

Summertime is great for barbeques and outdoor parties. I really enjoy the late summer nights as the sun only sets around 10pm here. Gives perfect opportunity to enjoy the summer in full effect :-) I here present some ideas that are relatively easy to spice up your garden party or barbeque. Have a look: 
This set of a table and two chairs I randomly found in a small deco shop. I absolutely love it, and every summer I'm reminded why. :) Can't wait to spend time here with a good book, the sun, and a chai latte :-) My aim was to create a "sanctuary" that looks inviting and intimate. You can do the same with similar garden furniture comprising of a table and two chairs :) imagine eating dinner out here with your loved one. A few dimmed lights will make this a nice place to sit and enjoy the summer evening. 
This pavilion tent was supposed to be a safe place to take cover in case of rain. I wanted to spice it up, which I think I succeeded in. I simply bought some decor from Søstrene Grene (a Danish accessory/crafts shop) for about 10 dollars in total. It included the streamers in plain colors as well as the pastel colored ones. It gave a really nice effect to an otherwise plain pavilion. See more pics below: 



I also made some vases with spray paint as part of the table setting. I will share that with you shortly. Also, what's a garden party without garden lights? I absolutely love lights, and will also share some easy tips on how lights can be used differently to spice up your party. Stay tuned! :-) Feel free to comment or ask questions below.
