1 DINING DELIGHTS
Take your garden dinner party to the next level with atmospheric lighting. Drape festoon bulbs over a pergola roof and complement with decorative lanterns and romantic candles. Pergolas help to extend the use of your garden into the evening, providing shelter from cool breezes or spotting rain. The gentle glow of festoon lights will provide ample illumination without overwhelming the space-electric or solar options work well. Further elevate your set-up by installing an outdoor candelabra that will create a centrepiece and provide another level of illumination-consider realistic LED candlesticks for a risk-free display.
