added by Rubyellen Bratcher to A Pretty Backyard Dinner Party
The large space felt much cozier with the different areas and it made the whole dinner feel a bit more fancy rather than just your typical backyard party. And of course, it is a bit more chilly of a season, so an outdoor heat lamp kept all the guest warm and cozy despite the autumn chill!

The hanging lights add romance and a festive quality to the deck or patio. I'm thinking about doing this but attaching the lights to a pergola.

String lights hanging above table in garden but not so many that you can't see the sky. I don't want them to feel like a ceiling - should still feel very open

The ones pictured here look like a G40 or G50mm bulb shape. LED lighting is very energy-efficient so you can do long runs of strings like this on one outlet.
