So, you didn?t hop on a plane headed for Europe or the Far East this Summer. Don?t worry--you can still celebrate summer and share the world with your family and friends! With Fields of the World bouquets, you can enjoy the most exquisite floral varieties in the world--and be transported to faraway places while you transform an ordinary summer vacation into an exotic and exciting event!
English Style
Longing to see Great Britain? Invite your friends over for an Afternoon Tea. Make your table shine with lustrous china, sparkling crystal and gleaming silverware, along with the Fields of England as your centerpiece. This exquisite hand-tied bouquet was created by Jane Packer, recipient of the prestigious Prince Philip Medal for her groundbreaking career in floral design. Jane?s gorgeous gathering of six breathtaking white roses (the national flower of England), double white freesia and double white bouvardia is beautifully accented with variegated pitt and variegated trailing ivy, to create an elegant atmosphere at your tea party.
Find wonderful recipes and suggestions for your Afternoon Tea party menu at the library or on the internet. Some tea-time favorites include cucumber sandwiches, freshly baked scones and crumpets served with Devonshire clotted cream, tea sandwiches, Madeleine cookies, a traditional English trifle, tea or coffee. If it?s too hot for tea or coffee, don?t worry: it?s your tea party and you can add ice if you want to! Serve iced tea with lemon or vanilla mocha iced coffee to create a refreshing Summer splash!
Spanish Delights
Get ready for a night of fine food, great friends, and fabulous conversation when you embrace the Spanish and South American tradition of hosting a tapas party! Tapas are bite-sized treats that can range from simple items like olives or grapes with walnuts and goat cheese to more elaborate dishes like omelets, meatballs, crab cakes and more.
Set the mood with the Fields of Spain centerpiece, which features a gorgeous bouquet of blushing pink carnations, accompanied by a hand-painted ceramic vase made in Spain. Then, whip up some delicious treats you can create using tapas recipes for empanadas, omelets, fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and more that you can find on the internet, and get ready to enjoy. Put out bread plates (smaller plates work better) and encourage your guests to use toothpicks or their fingers?no silverware required.
Gather your friends together, whip up a pitcher of sangria or open a bottle of sherry, and enjoy. Finish off this night of sweet Spanish delights by serving Spanish hot chocolate (more like warm pudding than a drink) and churros?a fried, thin donut that is perfect for dipping.
Thailand Dreams
For a festive and unforgettable barbecue sensation, don?t just hand out hot dogs and hamburgers--go for a Thai barbecue! There?s nothing like Thai food to awaken the senses and have your guests clamoring for more. Dishes like Chicken or Beef Satay, Thai Barbecue Shrimp, Coconut rice, barbecued vegetables and more are sure to be a hit.
Set the mood with the Decorate your backyard with festive lanterns, red streamers and other decorations with an Asian theme (all readily available online or at party goods stores). Serve it with your favorite bottle of chilled white or rose wine or Thai Iced Tea (go online for lots of great recipes and ideas.)
To make the atmosphere complete, don?t forget to decorate your table with the Fields of Thailand. Our expert growers cultivate exotic golden amber ?Mokara? orchids for a riot of vibrant color that sets the right mood either indoors on your dining room table, or out on a deck, especially in the evening!
Other Summer Celebrations
Summer celebrations are fast, fun and easy when you?ve got the world at your fingertips! Some other great party themes: a fiesta with margaritas (and the Fields of Mexico); iced cappuccino, cannolis and gelato (and the Fields of Italy); a South African wine-tasting and dance party (and the Fields of South Africa) and more.
Don?t get stuck writing ?I stayed at home this summer vacation? in your journal. Create a Summer that?s sizzling with excitement, where the possibilities are endless?and the Fields of the World are calling!
