Boho Picnic\u00a0<\/u><\/h2>\n

\"Pillow<\/p>\n

Transform your classic picnic into an evening event to remember. This look is both sophisticated and relaxed for the perfect sunset get together with the girls. Here are our 6 steps to a gorgeous boho picnic.<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start with a low table or for a DIY approach opt for pallets.<\/li>\n
  2. A tablecloth<\/a> or if you\u2019d like more of the table to be showing, opt for a table runner<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Your seating<\/a> of choice. From floor cushions<\/a> to normal cushions<\/a>, you want your guests to be comfortable. We also love how our Havana ottomans<\/a> look with this style.<\/li>\n
  4. Our favourite part! An Insta-worthy centrepiece and d\u00e9cor<\/a> galore \u2013 the world is your oyster. We\u2019ve styled with trending candle holders<\/a> and some of our stunning Christmas range<\/a> that can be used all year through.<\/li>\n
  5. A place setting to remember. A place setting can be as simple or as extravagant as you\u2019d like. During the festive season we love to add hanging tree decorations<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Invite the best company and ask them to bring the drinks. We recommend Mr Consistent mixers<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Lavish Soiree<\/u><\/h2>\n

    \"Pillow<\/p>\n

    If a lavish soiree is more your thing, you\u2019ll want to keep on reading. We\u2019ve got the tips and tricks for you to pull together the event of the season. There will be no shortage of good times and good style.<\/p>\n

    These are our top 5 styling tips for throwing the lavish soiree of the season.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Centrepieces are everything! While we always love a gorgeous table addition, they\u2019re the heart and soul of fancier events. From floral bouquets to dried arrangements this is your time to get a little creative.<\/li>\n
    2. Plan your table linen. There\u2019s a saying that \u201cif everything matches you have your life together\u201d<\/em>, well, in this case it might be true. There is something effortlessly beautiful about matching table linen from napkins to table clothes and runners.<\/li>\n
    3. Speaking of napkins, elevate your place settings with a napkin ring like our Colada Pineapple rings. This subtle addition will add extra style to the event.<\/li>\n
    4. A lavish soiree would not be complete without the truly gorgeous Briella glassware range. The champagne coups have been designed with a long stem to perfectly complement your wine glasses.<\/li>\n
    5. Impress your guests with a cocktail made from the freshest ingredients. Might we suggest Mr Consistent to shake up the weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Subtle sunset<\/u><\/h2>\n

      \"Pillow<\/p>\n

      There is nothing subtle about our beautiful Australian sunsets, however, sometimes all we want is some good company and to enjoy the view (without a lot of preparation). While we can let the sunset be the main event, we\u2019ve got a couple of essentials for you to make the most of the evening.<\/p>\n

      What you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. A simple, but stunning, tray like our Hester is a great place to start. This addition elevates any affair with very little effort.<\/li>\n
      2. You can\u2019t go wrong if you have beautiful glassware \u2013 we love our Malibu, Brooklyn or Florence range for a simple yet stunning look.<\/li>\n
      3. The best place to enjoy our gorgeous sunsets is of course outdoors! Add a little comfort and style to the space with a new set of outdoor cushions.<\/li>\n
      4. While summer evenings are nothing if not warm, for those friends who always seem to be cold, add a light throw they can easy grab when the night time chill sets in.<\/li>\n
      5. No matter your style of summer sundowners make it extra special with a few small additions. We sure to tag us in your setups @pillowtalkaustralia<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
