Getting Garden Party-Ready

The feminine summer aesthetic I'm obsessed with.

POSTED BY JOSEPHINE ALLEN

If there's one thing I love about having a big garden, it's the opportunity to host garden parties. There are few things in life that are better than drinking cocktails with your friends while soaking up the sun.

I also love the classy nature of them. You can head to a pub garden with the gang any time, but having them over with fairy lights and drinks in hand? That requires a little more than sweatpants.

My garden party go-to is a white lace minidress. It makes me feel cute and summery without trying too hard. Recently, I've been wanting to dress to fit the color palette around me, and I feel like a pale blue or pink could help me really pop against the green shrubbery and gray cobblestones in my garden.

One look online will tell you that garden party outfits are floral, girlish, and full of puff sleeves and sundresses. As a huge enthusiast of this style, is it really any wonder I love garden parties so much?

Here are some Fizzypicks if you want to feel floral and fabulous.
