I cannot believe I am sharing this garden party with you in collaboration with Williams-Sonoma, one of my favorite brands on Earth! I look forward to hosting a party in the blooming garden every spring. 

Over the years my spring party has really been Easter with my friends and their kids but it wasn’t until last year I wanted a real spring party with just my friends to dress up and have a proper garden party. Last year I hosted a citrus party which I asked guests to bring a citrus themed dish and decorated with citrus because I love a good theme.

This year I wanted a garden party with food shaped in bugs or garden things, just celebrate the garden! I let my guests be as creative as they wanted and they delivered it was just DARLING! I will share a few photos at the end of this post. Can I also say 95% of my guests RSVP’d within 24 hours on Paperless Post? Are those amazing friends or what?!

Links to all of the items featured will be also at the end of this post, thank you Williams-Sonoma for the cabbage dishesnapkinslinensdrinksdesserts, the sweet touches that made this party really gorgeous!

Thank you to some friends who helped make this happen, Brittany and Michelle.

The cabbage dishes, were a necessity for a garden party I think! I used my mom’s napkin rings for the embroidered napkins, and I loved the Canton Rose linens, that matched my other serve ware dishes by Williams-Sonoma it’s called the Famile Rose collection and I cannot get enough. The drinksdesserts, the sweet touches that made this party really gorgeous!

As placecards I used these lollipops from the Williams-Sonoma Bridgerton Collection! Cheese crisps also from Williams Sonoma, and the flower bowls! I plan to use them for ice cream this summer. Imagine using them with these mini shovel/spade spoons! Too cute!

Can you handle these cute appetizer dishes? They have one with a butterfly and one with a lady bug.  I found the spade and shovel spoons on Amazon.

The pink etched cups were so sweet, Brittany added butterfly garnishes from mandarin oranges on them when she arrived you’ll see them later in the post or on my reel on Instagram.

I found that pedestal at an estate sale earlier that morning with Michelle and bought two. Thank you Michelle for making amazing floral arrangements and going to Trader Joe’s with me twice! We went the second time and waited in line at 8 am to grab the garden roses!

What a wonderful night spent with friends who I see regularly. I have spent quality time with each girl here within the last month or two, these are the girls I do life with. Michelle flew in from VA and Jennifer drove down 3 hours for this! You may recognize these faces, they are always at my parties and these are my sweet friends I am so thankful for.

There are so many different kinds of parties we can host and I continually like to set the table for the same women in my life who are a blessing to me. I am so thankful for all their hard work making their dishes! What an evening, thank you Williams-Sonoma for providing a gorgeous tablescape for my annual garden party! 

We cannot forget the Garden Queen 2024 is Lauren yet again! She won with her chicken pineapple sourdough pizza! She put edible flowers on it and it was just lovely! Look at how excited she was we were jumping up and down laughing! I found a butterfly crown on Temu and gave her a $50 gift card to Williams-Sonoma (of course!) and a bouquet. Our first runner up was Brandy with her carrot cake!
