A warm evening, best friends and delicious food. The three key ingredients for the perfect Summer supper party.

For special occasions go the extra mile, incorporating elements that will make things feel genuinely special. Touches that make the atmosphere celebratory from the moment your first guests arrive.

A fabulous display of flowers is enchanting and make a real first impression, not to mention a conversation piece. Making this arrangements is so much easier with life-like blooms. They are not going to wilt, they stay where they are put and can be organised in advance.

Begin with an old fruit crate from your local or farm shop or a rustic basket. Fill with large blooms such as Hydrangeas. Place at the entrance to the dining area to be enjoyed by your guests.

Set the tone of your table with:

1. Fruit and Flower centre pieces.
2. Flower petals scattered across the table.
3. Crisp white linen napkins elegantly folded and tied with coloured ribbon to match the centre pieces.
4. Coloured wine and water glasses, use as many different glasses as possible.
5. Large rustic bowls and servers for superfood salads
6. Add coloured throws to the back of each chair. They give and endearing look and come in useful if the evening turns chilly.
7. Candles – Hurricane Lamps
8. Lastly sit back, relax and enjoy a memorable evening.
