Life & soul
Two more ways to bring a party to life
MAKE SCENTS
“Choose flowers in season,” says Mairead Curtin of Rebel Rebel florists. “All the British flowers come in over summer and they’re good value. Larkspurs, delphiniums and stocks are tall flowers that are great for big displays. Scented roses and dahlias will add colour.”
CREATE A CINEMA
“You need a big white space to project a film so use a wall, or hang up a white sheet,” says Dominic Davies of Backyard Cinema. “Projector tech changes quickly, so you can pick up last year’s models at half the price. Play your film off a laptop and Bluetooth speakers: no wires!”
