Nightfall is approaching sooner and Summer days are winding down so if you’ve ever dreamed of hosting an outdoor celebration, now is the time. My husband and I often have conversations about how Summer is passing by so fast and all the things that we still want to do with the kids before Fall hits. It’s evident as we sit for dinner at 6pm every night and the dining room gets darker and darker each passing day. In a bittersweet way, I’m ready to start sipping lattes yet I love the concept of not having to put on many layers before stepping out the door.

You still have a chance to organize a delightful outdoor Summer party. There is always something to celebrate whether it’s a wedding, baby shower, birthday, or just because. Here are thirteen insanely gorgeous and inspiring outdoor celebrations to gawk at. All gathered from my Pinterest board, Outdoor Living.

One thing that they all have in common? Magical lights in all shapes and sizes.

Enjoy…
