Wimbledon-Inspired Backyard Party Ideas with a DIY Twist
A Little Wimbledon Magic: Backyard Party Inspo from Ali + Josie
There’s something so fun about blending the playful spirit of summer with classic Wimbledon charm—and that’s exactly what Ali (our founder!) did for this sweet tennis-inspired dinner party with her daughter, Josie.
Set right in her own backyard, this table proves that you don’t need much to create something beautiful. Fresh-picked hydrangeas, a few clever DIYs, and our signature party goods came together for a look that’s fresh, fun, and full of summer energy.
The Look: Simple, Fresh, Elevated
This charming Wimbledon-inspired tablescape features:
-
DIY oversized tennis balls made from foam balls, neon spray paint, and blue painter’s tape—a fun project that adds a big dose of personality.
-
Green Bavarian Check XL Plates for a bold nod to tennis court lines.
-
Green Farmhouse Striped Napkins for a soft, summery accent.
-
Chartreuse Solid Cups that match the tennis ball vibes perfectly.
-
Fresh hydrangeas clipped straight from Ali's garden and arranged in wicker vases for an elegant but unfussy floral moment.
The combination of pattern, texture, and color makes the whole scene feel special—but still totally doable. Whether you're celebrating Wimbledon or just looking for a fresh party theme, this setup is ace.
DIY Oversized Tennis Balls
Want to recreate the tennis balls? Here’s what Ali used:
