Garden parties truly are a wonderful way to spend a day, and I'm thrilled to be able to create this magical experience for my little one.

Last year, I threw my daughter's second birthday party, as a garden party in our backyard. And let me tell you, this simple garden party was an absolute blast! There's just something so nice about spending the day outdoors, soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh air. 

You know, I just love wearing a pretty, floral dress, so any excuse to get myself all dolled up and spend time in the sunshine is right up my alley. Even if I don't have a particular event or gathering to attend, I'll sometimes throw on a pretty dress just because it makes me feel good. It's a little act of self-care that puts a spring in my step.

These garden parties for my daughter's birthdays were the perfect opportunity to indulge my love of dressing up and being outside. Seeing her and her little friends running around, giggling and playing in the grass trying to pop bubbles, all dressed in their cute, colorful outfits – it was just the sweetest thing. And of course, I had to join in on the fun, twirling around in my own floral frock.

I'm definitely planning on hosting another garden party for my daughter's upcoming third birthday. It's such a fun and festive way to celebrate, and I can't wait to create more of those special memories with my little one. There's just something so carefree and joyful about a garden party. And a really fun way to spend the day!

WHAT TO WEAR AT GARDEN PARTY? 

A flowy maxi dress or a sundress are perfect choice to wear to a garden party! Garden parties are the perfect chance to dress up a bit and show off your favorite floral dresses and breezy outfits. There's nothing quite like soaking up the sun in a gorgeous garden while rocking a cute outfit. 

Now, let's talk weather. As much as we'd love every garden party to have perfect, sunny skies, sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. That's why it's always a good idea to check your weather app beforehand and come prepared with some layers. Trust me, layers are your BFF when it comes to outdoor events!

So, what should you bring? A super adorable cardigan, kimono or a chic tweed blazer that complements your stunning garden dress is a must-have. Not only will it keep you cozy if the weather takes a chilly turn, but it'll also take your outfit to the next level.

WHAT TO WEAR TO A GARDEN PARTY IN THE RAIN?

If rain is on the forecast and you are going to a garden party, first things first, layers are your best friend. A cute jacket or a cozy cardigan will not only keep you warm but also add a stylish touch to your outfit. And let's not forget about accessories – an oversized hat is the perfect way to stay dry and look garden ready at the same time. Or bring a clear umbrella.Trust me, with a little creativity and the right pieces, you'll be rocking that garden glam even on a drizzly day.

When it comes to footwear, closed-toe shoes are the way to go. Look for something easy to clean and wipe off, like a pair of sleek ankle boots or cute flats. No one wants to deal with muddy shoes or sinking heels in the grass. 

Now, for the star of the show – your dress! Even with the rain, you can still rock the garden party vibe with a beautiful pastel or floral number. Maybe a charming midi dress with a delicate print or a flowy maxi that is giving "botanical goddess." You'll look and feel lovely, even if the weather isn't cooperating. 

WHAT TO WEAR TO A GARDEN PARTY WEDDING? 

If you've got a garden party wedding on your calendar, it's time to level up your style game and dress to impress. Choose a lovely maxi, midi or sundress to wear at the garden party.Trust me, this is your chance to let your outfit shine and be the best-dressed guest at the celebration! (but of course, we never want to out-do the bride!!) 

Now, let's talk accessories. To complement your gorgeous dress, opt for some minimalist jewelry that adds just the right amount of sparkle. A delicate golden necklace or a pair of cute earrings will do the trick. Remember, less is more when it comes to garden party glam.

But wait, before you slip on those sky-high heels, let's talk practical footwear. When it comes to outdoor garden parties, you'll want to avoid any stilettos that might sink into the grass and leave you feeling unstable. Instead, go for a chic pair of sandals or some stylish wedges.They'll give you that extra bit of height without compromising your comfort or your ability to move around on different terrains. 

WHAT TO WEAR TO AN OUTDOOR PARTY AT NIGHT? 

If you’re going to an outdoor party at night, you will want to wear a flirty mini dress, flow maxi dress or an elegant jumpsuit to dance the night away in.

Even if the party is taking place on a warm summer night, temperatures can drop once the sun sets. That's why it's a good idea to bring along a light cardigan or an oversized blazer to keep you cozy and stylish.
