EntertainingFriday Faves: Bohemian Modern Memorial Day May 24, 2013So today I’m breaking the rules just a little bit for Friday Faves. Well, maybe not. I made the rules so I guess I can change them? With Memorial Day on Monday, I began thinking about our party last year. That party was so much fun and has me wishing I was throwing another one this year. Unfortunately, we have to use this long weekend to finish up some things on the house so that we actually have a place to host parties like this. But even though we aren’t hosting one, the party planner in me still found myself scouring the web for inspiration. So, this Friday Faves is comprised of my favorite things from around the web that I would use IF I was throwing a party this year. Here it is, you ready? Can a Memorial Day party be bohemian modern instead of traditional patriotic? To me, it can be whatever you want! So, if I was throwing one, I’d start with a hand-painted runner with some orangey red and white in a great navajo inspired print (1). I’d layer it over the dark-stained farmhouse table that’s going out on our patio (2). I’d bring out some modern chairs around the old table (3). For the centerpiece, I’d layer a ton of succulents potted in terracotta and gold candlesticks in every shape and size (4-5). To serve the delicious food, I’d use pretty plain white plates, but really have fun with glassware. I’d use a mix of all colors and styles and definitely bring in our blue glasses (6). And no party is complete without some lights strung overhead for a little magic (7). What would I wear to this event in my head? Oh, don’t worry, I found that too. I’d throw on a casual maxi outfit something like this. {via} And maybe a fancy cocktail ring to spice things up like this. {via} Throw a few braids in my hair like this and I’m ready and outfitted for this lovely bohemian modern evening. {via} Okay, now I’m dying to throw this party. It doesn’t have to just be for Memorial Day…maybe it’ll be the first event we throw in our new outdoor area! Do y’all have plans for Memorial Day that I can think and dream about while I’m painting and doing housework?
