1. Dreamcatcher Canopy
Oh, I’m obsessed with this one! I made a mini version for my patio last summer, and it was a total hit. Hang dreamcatchers from tree branches or a pergola to create a whimsical ceiling.
How To: Grab some thrifted dreamcatchers (or DIY them with embroidery hoops, lace, and feathers), tie them with twine, and drape them at different heights. Add fairy lights for extra magic.
Picture This: A soft breeze rustles through your backyard, the sun setting behind a web of cream and dusty pink dreamcatchers swaying gently, fairy lights twinkling like stars above your guests lounging on blankets.
2. Macramé Table Runners
You know how I love a good macramé moment—my sister’s wedding table was all me! These add instant boho charm to any table.
How To: Pick up a macramé runner (or knot one if you’re feeling crafty), lay it down the center of your table, and top with candles or wildflowers.
Picture This: A long wooden table under string lights, the creamy macramé runner spilling over the edges, dotted with mason jars of daisies and flickering tealights.
3. Vintage Rug Lounge
I swear, rugs are my secret weapon for cozy vibes—I dragged one out for a picnic once, and everyone stayed for hours!
How To: Raid your attic or hit a thrift store for old rugs, layer them on the grass, and toss on some pillows. Boom—instant lounge area.
