According
to the urban dictionary,
a
flamingle is a combination of flirting
and mingling,
but in
this case, it’s just
a little mingle
amongst
the flamingos,
with a little
swimming thrown
into the mix!
So here's how I set the scene for
our latest pool party...
So here's how I set the scene for

and large palm leaves that look
like philodendron
leaves.
They’re perfect
for a fun summer party!
Always a great standby for any party are
a great set of clear glass plates.
You may recognize them from
some of the other tables I've shared on the blog.
They're so versatile, match any style and theme,
and are one of my all-time favorite
tablescape accessories.
Well, look at how they work here...
the beauty of the palm leaf comes shining through
but the glass adds a much needed dose of elegance.
It's so fun to mix high and low pieces on a table.

As soon as I spotted
them in the Oriental Trading catalog,
I had to have them for table...
and I ordered a few extras for the pool.

They’re soooo cute!
I love
how these little flamingos add
just the
right touch of whimsy
to the
table.
At the
center of the table are
two more
friendly little flamingos
that are
part of the centerpiece.
These guys came in a set of four,
with two large ones (mom & dad)
and two smaller ones (the kidlets).
I just cut a
few leaves from my sago palm
and used two blocks of floral foam as a base
to create
a little nesting area
for this pair of flamingos.
Some bougainvillea adds
a bit more pink.
a bit more pink.
Bright paper lanterns are always a festive accent
and they look so pretty swaying in the breeze..
Seeing
these little guys floating around
just
makes me smile.
The
larger flamingos are out near the
pool keeping
an eye on the festivities, and
I don’t
think a pool party is
complete without
a few fun beach balls.
I also
set up a few cocktail
tables around
the pool for extra seating.
Lavender lemonade will be on the menu
to help keep thing cool.
You know me and my succulents,
well I found the cutest pink succulents
that make the
perfect accent for the smaller tables.
BTW, they're faux!
I'm not the only one who's a big fan
of my new flamingo accessories,
my dogs
got really excited about the
new inflatable flamingos in the pool.
They
actually thought they were real
and started barking up a storm!
And little Dugan
was the biggest culprit...
wishing you a fabulous weekend!
