Steel the show: EverEdge tips for outdoor entertaining

19 November 2024

With summer festivities on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to transform your garden into a welcoming space for hosting friends and family. Whether you’re planning a casual BBQ or a stylish New Year’s Eve party, the right touches can turn your outdoor area into a party-ready haven. From practical updates like EverEdge steel garden edging to stylish decorative ideas, here’s how to make your garden into a striking setting for drinks and dining.


Define the garden zones

Organising your outdoor space into zones ensures functionality and comfort for your guests. Create dedicated areas for dining, lounging, and mingling. With its clean lines and timeless appeal, EverEdge steel garden edging is the perfect solution for defining these separate spaces while creating a sense of design harmony across the landscape.


One of the greatest advantages of installing garden edging for your party is that it not only enhances your party’s setting but also elevates the aesthetic of your garden for years to come. Durable and weather-resistant, EverEdge is a long-lasting structure that stays beautiful through every season while keeping your garden looking neat, cohesive, and inviting.


Set the scene with style

A themed garden party creates a charming environment. Choose a colour palette inspired by the garden’s flowers in bloom, and bring it to life with tablecloths, cushions, and napkins. For a cohesive look, display flowers from your garden in vases that echo your chosen hues—small, consistent design choices deliver maximum impact.


Add a bohemian touch by draping fabric over pergolas or trees to provide both shade and decoration. These small, thoughtful details make your party feel well-planned and visually unified, setting the perfect tone for a memorable gathering.

Lighting can transform your garden as the sun sets. String up festoon lights, hang lanterns, or use rechargeable table lamps to create a magical ambiance. However, lighting also plays a crucial role in helping your guests navigate the space safely. Uneven pathways or lawns can pose safety risks, especially in low light. EverEdge steel edging provides clear, tidy borders that are ideal for guiding lighting placement, ensuring pathways and routes are both highlighted and safe to use.


Ready, set, entertain

From stylish décor to practical solutions like EverEdge steel garden edging, preparing your garden for entertaining can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. With these tips, you’ll create a beautiful, functional space that’s perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings.
