Backyard Magic: Chilling Drinks and Lighting for Parties

1. Chill drinks in unexpected containers. Holden and Moll use 39-inch soaking tubs that revert to tubs after the party. Smaller glazed ceramic bowls also work.

2. Hang portable lighting fixtures. White lights strung overhead or threaded into baskets create instant magic. Add floating candles in the pond, lanterns on seat walls, and tiki torches among tropical foliage.
