I Love Garden Lights
Posted on 08. Sep, 2011 by admin in Catering Business
If you decide to throw a summer party, you can shop for all the garden lights your heart desires True, a summer party can be a lot of work , but if it means that you finally have a great opportunity to buy path lights, candle lanterns and patio lights – then don’t waste the opportunity . Just picture how great it will be to see your night time garden in a whole new light
You see, garden lighting is more than just beholding more clearly . Its a chance to create a mood around an event and transition from different areas of the garden . Are you familiar with the concept of garden rooms? It’s a wonderful way to make small spaces to seem bigger than they are and I love to use the same idea with lights , at night and create distinct spaces with a different approach to lighting.
To start you can use lighting to direct people . In the case of a party or guests coming over , start with how you illuminate the path. There are some very cool choices. I am completely crazy about solar path lights. Honestly, they’ve come such a long way from early, boring lights that I don’t know why anyone would ever shop for anything but solar . But now you can also select between standard white light – or spot lights or solar lights that change color. I’ll use white nearer to the front of the patht and feature my new colored lights in the back.
Try a candle lantern for garden lights.
The color changing path lights, I must admit, really are a favorite of mine . Not only will these solar powered garden lights shift their color from red to orange to yellow to green to blue and purple, then back to red, you can keep them at the color of your choice so the possibilities are not quite limitless , but pretty darned close.
Some thing else I found are solar powered, color shifting orbs that will place on a little stand or just roll around the yard or (here’s the best ) – they’ll float around in the pool. This is terrific.
Now, I can finally buy myself some of these wonderful new outdoor candle lanterns. I know they’ve been around for a while, but there are so many choices . Since I’m free to set up them on every table and hang some from the odd branch, I can choose between iron and clear glass, iron and mosaic glass and some simply wonderful pressed and crackle glass lanterns in fuchsia, amber, dark green and turquoise.
I work hard to keep my garden looking good It means a lot to me and I’m happy to have any chance to show it off in a new way .
