Outdoor Decor

We at Haute Events are planning an outdoor graduation party for a friend, and we are fast approaching the date. Since it is outdoors, we were tasked with making this a really pretty and special event for a young lady, while still holding true to the "nature" of the location.

It can be a trying task finding appropriate decorations for an outdoor event. They have to be sturdy enough to stand up to the elements, even if it is just wind...and inexpensive enough that if they cannot be reused, you have not spent all of your life savings.
Here are some great outdoor decorations you can use to make your next backyard event a hit!


Tissue Pom Poms are inexpensive but beautiful decoration for a girls birthday party, graudation party, or your own grown up girl affair. Hang them from clear monofilament from trees or attach smaller ones to a fence to spell out the name of the special guest.


Paper Banners can be really great ideas for a sunny day outside. You can make them yourself or order them and get cool thematic pictures added, like pirate ships for a fun boys birthday party.


String Lights are great and inexpensive decoration. They add a bit of light once it gets dark outside, and they make the party festive and even a bit sexy!


Standing or staked tealight holders make for a great addition to a grown up outdoor affair. A little more pricey than string lights, they add an extra special touch!


Metal Lanterns are really pretty and let off a brillant source of light when a tealight candle is put inside. They come in a range of colors, are of medium expense, but can be used over again, or even added to your own outdoor decor for a bit of whimsy!


Citronella Flower Torches are multi-functional...they add a pretty touch to the outside AND they keep the bugs away. What a pretty way to zap those little critters before they get to your hot dogs!


A Beach Ball Fountain is a cool way to give your kid's pool party a good look and full of fun! This can be used over and over again, and is just cute!!!

A TeePee is another fun addition to your yard for a great kids party. You can even leave it outside for your kids to have lots of summer fun in this special little hideaway. Give kids fabric markers at the party, and have them draw little pictures of themselves all over, leaving behind a great little piece of treasure for your birthday girl or boy!
