SUMMER CELEBRATIONS: BBQ

This week's Summer Celebrations post is all about the ultimate summer event: the BBQ.

Let's Eat - When it comes to BBQ's we always find that the whole event is centred around food and we love it! You can create and display food as aesthetically pleasing as it is tasty.

Cheers - The second most important element within a BBQ is drinks; making sure every glass is topped up at all times. Drink displays can be so interesting, especially in today's 'Instagram ready' world, this area can become part of the decor. Whether it's creating a sweet table for the glasses and drinks or filling a wheel barrow with ice and letting the drinks cool in that.

Alfresco Style - The best part about a BBQ is eating outside under the summer sun. There's something very social and relaxing about gathering around a wooden table and eating in the open air (maybe because it reminds us of being on holiday abroad).

Decoration - If you haven't guessed already, we love decor! From planning on Pinterest to creating the finished look, we love it all. A summer BBQ is no different. When hosting any event in the garden we always find ourselves attracted to vintage bunting hung from tree to tree. We are also obsessed with strategically hung strings of magical lights around the garden. 

If you're having a summer BBQ this year, we hope this post inspired you to create a Pinterest perfect night!

SUMMER CELEBRATIONS: Birthday Party

If you read our last post, you'll have seen that our theme for this month is Summer Celebrations, and today kicks off July with our first post - all about birthdays. Today we'll be sharing some top tips to create the perfect celebration event for a loved one, or yourself (if you're planning-crazy like us!) on a birthday.


Floral Fancy
If you're planning a celebration for a flower-loving girl, a tea party affair will be the perfect set-up. Think pastel tones and plenty of cutesy accessories to decorate your space. Pinterest will be your best friend whilst planning a party, especially with decorating! Learn how to make your own flower garlands here and floral arrangements and floral photobooth walls are in abundance. Cocktails served in shallow glasses or milk bottles with straws will also add to the cute look.

Neutral Nomad
For the guy or girl who loves to travel, a nomadic inspired event will be the perfect look for a birthday. To suit the theme, an outdoor space would be ideal to home seating areas and canopies. To continue festivities into the evening, prepare your space with lots of candles and lanterns to brighten up seating areas and tables. As a nod to the person you're celebrating's love of travel and making memories, encourage party-goers to bring photographs with them to attach to trees below, making them different focal points of the space. Country-themed tables would also work really well, with decor and food appropriate to a certain place, i.e Italy.

Glitz & Glam
For the girl that loves to party, and has a taste for the finer things in life, a birthday event doesn't mean going to a glitzy location - it's all in the details! Pick a few colours and make that a theme. We personally love gold or platinum teamed with white and a pale pastel option as it keeps the decor light and classy. Glitter will also be essential, either dipping or filling balloons with it, or just dressing the tables with a little sprinkle of sparkle!A photobooth with similar coloured props will work well too, and as an extra touch, ask the guests to come in neutral colours, and have the birthday girl in pink so she stands out!

These birthday ideas are only the start, there's so much more you can do! You can personalise each of these ideas to suit your birthday girl/guy down to the ground, or just keep it generic! Have you planned any birthday events or have any tips for party decor? Let us know on Twitter, we'd love to hear from you!

FROM US TO YOU: Summer Celebrations

July for us, as students, is all about socialising with friends and family. Whether it's catching up with childhood friends and family at home or visiting University friends in their hometowns, the summer break from University allows us to set aside more time to spend with our loved ones and we love it. With lighter evenings and (the hope of) warmer weather July is the perfect month get together with your loved ones to celebrate the height of summer.

As July is all about socialising and celebrating for us, it only felt natural that this month's theme at Eleven Oh Seven would follow suit! This month is all about summer celebrations: whether you're celebrating birthdays, the 4th of July or just planning on throwing a summer BBQ we will bring you everything you will need to know about throwing the perfect summer party! From food and drink to decor, we will help you create 'Pinterest-perfect' evenings. If that wasn't enough we'll also be posting some un-themed fashion, beauty and lifestyle posts for you this month.
