Backyard Dinner DatesBackyard dinner dates….one of my very favorite things! You don’t need to find a sitter for the kids and spend a ton of money in order to have a dinner date with your man….or entire family. Create a beautiful place in your yard or on your balcony to dine outside. I created my secret spot under a huge tree in my yard, and designed a seating area, lined with Brassfield Chips (pebble ground cover seen above.)
Beautiful linens/tablecloths can create so many different looks. The picture above happens to be a Saturday morning breakfast date with the newspaper and fresh papaya juice (coffee being brewed). It’s a beautiful way to start the day or end an evening.
A backyard dinner date just takes creativity. It can be breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner; the backyard dates are especially beneficial when you feel like you haven’t been on a real date in 100 years. Create a romantic dinner for two (don’t forget candles), or serve dinner for the entire family there. Have coffee and bagels in the morning, or gourmet cheeses and a bottle of wine in the evening.
Get creative and surprise your guy with a backyard dinner date.
