Celebrate in Style: Four Liberty-Inspired Party Ideas

There’s something so special about setting a table, stringing up garlands, and turning an ordinary afternoon into a celebration. With the new Meri Meri × Liberty collection, those moments feel even more magical - a blend of playful design and timeless Liberty florals that bring joy to any occasion.

If you’re looking for ideas to get started, here are four Liberty-inspired party themes that are easy to create and even easier to fall in love with.

1. The Garden Party Picnic

Perfect for: birthdays, bridal showers, summer gatherings.

When the sun’s shining, there’s no better setting than the great outdoors. Spread out a picnic blanket, set up low tables or wooden crates, and layer them with floral napkins and vintage glassware.

Style it with: the Scallop Edge Garland draped between trees, Paper Pinwheel Decorations twirling in the breeze, and a few wildflower-filled jars scattered around.

2. The Birthday Bloom Bash

Perfect for: children’s parties or grown-up celebrations with a playful twist.

This is where colour and pattern take centre stage. Hang the Happy Birthday Garland above your cake table, trail a Paper Flower Garland through the middle, and finish with Party Hats and Crowns to make everyone feel part of the fun.

Style it with: the Reusable Cake Stand topped with frosted cupcakes and Mixed Print Candles for a showstopping centrepiece.

3. The Afternoon Tea Soirée

Perfect for: Mother’s Day, birthdays, or a treat-yourself weekend.

There’s something delightfully nostalgic about a classic afternoon tea - especially one dressed in Liberty florals.

Style it with: the Paper Flower Garland woven around a tiered Victoria sponge, beautifully displayed on the Reusable Cake Stand and surrounded by tiny bakes and dainty teacups in coordinating hues. For a final flourish, add the Paper Pinwheel Decorations for a playful, floral touch.

4. The Evening Garden Glow

Perfect for: intimate dinners, anniversaries, or summer nights under the stars.

As daylight fades, Liberty’s delicate patterns look stunning by candlelight. String fairy lights overhead, light your candles, and bring the garden to life with soft, floral details.

Style it with: the Scallop Edge Garland as a romantic backdrop and the Reusable Cake Stand showcasing your dessert of choice.

And don’t forget a thoughtful gift for that special guest or host, this Wharfedale Candle Gift Box is beautifully boxed and ready to delight.

The beauty of the Meri Meri × Liberty collection lies in its versatility - it’s just as lovely for a children’s tea party as it is for an elegant evening dinner. Mix, match and reuse pieces to create your own story, and don’t be afraid to layer prints for that signature Liberty charm.
