Authors Note: This is for @amillcitygirl and 🌙 Nonny who sent in two fic inspiration posts (here and here) . Enjoy ladies! <3 This is not at all what I was planning to write tonight, but my muse decided it didn't want to write smut (for once) and wanted some sweeping emotional stuff. Dont worry, normal filth will resume shortly lol. Thanks as ever to @makaylan for the beta read and the title. You’re the best!

He is your safe harbour. Your home away from home. The family friend you have known for as long as you can remember.… And he is engaged to another woman.

It was, in hindsight, a foolish idea to go into the gardens unaccompanied during the ball, but honestly, you needed the air. The stuffy room, the awful suitors, but most of all, having to watch him dance with his intended. An oily feeling in your stomach that you know is jealousy, making the champagne you drank sit uneasily.

You kick off your silken shoes and sink your toes gratefully into the slightly damp verdant grass. Rolling your toes into the lush turf, letting it tickle your arches. A satisfied sigh escapes your lips as you finally feel your jaw unclench, your temperature lower.

“Miss y/l/n…”

You knew the fleeting moment felt too perfect to last.

The oafish toad that is The Earl of Bradshaw is staring at you like a gift under a Christmas tree. Your skin crawls.

Snaggle-toothed, red-faced, likely inbred and sure to inherit his late father’s gout in the next few years, he is an ‘eligible bachelor’ who embodies the most ironic use of that term.

“Scandalous of you to be out here unchaperoned,” he smarms, drawing closer, “anyone would think you are asking to be compromised. Is that what you want, Miss y/l/n?”

“Certainly not,” you sniff affronted, flinching away from his ham-fisted grip. It smells like he’s had enough brandy to fell an ox, which gives you the tactical advantage of swift movement. You attempt to ensure your exit point is behind you, moving outside his peripheral vision.

Sadly he is lighter on his feet than your credit, and just as you think you are free, a vice-like grip wrenches your arm and you are pulled into the most awful damp blubbery embrace.

“Oh, I do so love them feisty,” he spittles as you make all efforts to escape him.

“Unhand me at once!” You exclaim, stamping on his foot, but you are barefoot, and he has on riding boots—it barely even dents the leather.

There is a heavy hand pulling up your skirts as you push and fight against him. He buried his face into the crook of your neck, and you gag at the sensation of his wet tongue licking your skin.

“You will be mine,” he gruffs.

“Never!” you assert, and with your final ounce of strength, you stumble free of his grasp and run. Run as far as you can. Tears now staining your face.

You know your hair is askew, your dress torn in places. You cannot run back into the ball. It will be your fault for entering the garden; such is the burden a young woman must bear for daring to wish for a modicum of free choice.

So you run around the side of the house, hoping to find your carriage not far away. As you round a corner, there’s a movement in the shadows under a jasmine-vined pergola.

“Y/n?” It’s the voice that inhabits your dreams. So much that you swear your mind is playing a cruel trick until a familiar shape emerges from the shadows.

“Benedict,” you stutter, relief cresting hard in your veins.

“What on earth? Are you alright?” His voice is concern and affection personified, and you want to wrap up in it like a blanket. He lightly grips your arms and steps closer.

“I’m alright now,” you exhale shakily, curling your hands around his elbows, tears turning to sobs of relief.

You watch as he catalogues your appearance with a glance. ”You are bare feet! Your dress is torn! You have a mark on your neck! Your hair is….” he stops mid-sentence

You bow your head, knowing you are a mess, ashamed of your appearance.

Two long fingers curl under your chin and lift your face to look at him. You see his hazy eyes blaze with a ferocity you’ve never seen before. A thumb brushes lightly over your left cheek, wiping away the tears you know are still falling.

“Who?” He exhales stutteringly, and his lower lip trembles on the word.

He has already guessed what has happened. He is far too intuitive not to.

“Y/n,” he warns softly when you are silent.

You can feel the vibration of emotion in every fibre of his being.

“Who did this to you?” His touch is gentle as he swabs your other cheek, but his body simmers with a feral rage barely contained.

“It doesn’t matter,” you evade, looking away from his intense gaze before you do something rash like lean forward and kiss him.

“Tell me…” his eyes close as if pained, and he tilts his forehead against yours, “for the love of god, tell me.” You feel his warm breath on your cheek.

“Bene…” you begin with a sigh, but he cuts over you.

“He must pay,” the chivalry of his declaration cracks your chest open. He reopens his eyes, meeting your gaze fiercely.

“Benedict, what good will it do?” You hiss. “I will not have you fight with someone over me.”

“I will fight to the death for you,” his voice so assured and decisive. You grip his elbows tighter. His tone brokers no argument; it’s just truth.

“But I am not your intended,” your tone is bitter as you pull your face away from resting on his, knowing it’s unwarranted, but you are too tired to be polite.

“Such is my misfortune,” he breathes cryptically, “I need that name, y/n,” he needles after a pause, running a soothing hand over your upper arm.

“I won’t tell you,” you say with finality, frowning up at him. “Benedict, I can't have you demanding satisfaction. I cannot… I cannot let you duel over me. I… I cannot lose you.” Your voice cracks on the last word.

His demeanour changes, and he is watching you now, his breathing uneven. He presses his forehead against yours again, transmitting through this silent action that he understands and accepts your decision even if he doesn't particularly like it.

He sighs and pulls you into an embrace. The absolute opposite of what you experienced before, his hold is respectful but comforting. Letting you rest your head on his shoulder and take solace in his warmth.

“I can’t imagine a world without you in it, and I never want to,” you confess in a whisper, looking away, unable to meet his gaze. “I’d prefer my reputation besmirched, to be forced to marry a monster, than lose you,” finally speaking your truth, finally acknowledging it to yourself even. His arm around your waist reflexively pulls you closer.

The weight of your unrequited love for him is too great to bear in the face of all you have experienced this evening. You know it’s not fair to burden him with the knowledge, but you are too tired to pretend anymore.

His eyes are a world of emotion as you finally pluck up the courage to lean back in his arms and steal a glance after your confession.

“Then there is only one other path available to us,” he opines. “You must announce your engagement to another right away; there can be no fuel to a rumour surrounding a betrothed woman,” he asserts.

“It’s a wonderful plan, Benedict,” you allow, “but missing one key element—-someone willing to marry me” your laugh hollow.

“You will marry me,” he states plainly as if it’s the most obvious answer in the world.

Your whole axis is knocked sideways at even the thought.

“No, Benedict! I cannot ask you to make that sort of sacrifice for me!” you decry, pulling away from him and pacing back and forth. “Besides, you are already engaged! It would bring scandal upon your family if you were to break such a sacred promise!”

“I am not.” It's so hushed you almost don’t hear it over the sound of your pacing. “I am no longer engaged,” he clarifies quietly.

“Since when?” you stop short, not even attempting to camouflage the breathy surprise in your voice.

“Since about fifteen minutes ago, when Miss Gleave informed me she could not go ahead with a marriage when a heart belongs elsewhere,” he says with an empty chuckle.

“Who is she in love with?” The impertinent question slips from your lips before your brain can censor it.

“It’s not her heart that is at fault,” he states slowly.

“Your heart is with another? You gasp, not sure if you can stand to hear about it after such a traumatic evening.

“I’m afraid so,” he admits like he is almost nervous.

“Who is she?” You ask, attempting to mask your jealousy under nonchalance.

His smile is wistful and tender. “She is the most wonderful, stubborn, independent, generous, self-sufficient, altruistic, oldest friend in the world,” his tone is reverential. As he reels off the list of her qualities, your heart sinks, knowing whoever this woman is, he is truly and utterly in love with her.

“She is the luckiest woman in the world,” your smile watery, tamping down self-indulgent tears.

“No, I am the luckiest man in the world,” he whispers fervently. “And I thank my lucky stars and all that is holy that she came to me only a few moments after I realised Miss Gleave was indeed correct and that there will never be anyone else for me.”

“What lovely timing,” you offer neutrally, wanting to escape, to protect the last thin veneer on your blistered heart.

“Yes, as I said, lucky man,” he repeats, looking at you with an almost trepidatious countenance.

“You should go to her, Benedict,” you offer, as you breathe a small sigh of relief, spying your carriage pulling up beyond his shoulder.

He shakes his head, disbelieving.

“I don’t need to go anywhere y/n,” he breathes.

You are confused. Looking around as if to see another woman—but it’s just the two of you and the light scent of jasmine in the air.

But…

Oh… OH!!!!!

“Now she’s catching on,” he teases gently, his face breaking into the most breathtaking crooked smile.

Wait…

What..

“You… me…?” It’s breathless and hope-filled, your emotions whiplashed by the most intense half hour of your existence.

“Yes.” It’s a simple three-letter word that changes your whole life.

“Benedict!!” you cry and fly into his arms, almost knocking him over with the force of your embrace.

He laughs heartily, lifting you off your feet, burying his face into your hair, as your arms band tight around each other.

“Hello fiancée,” his whisper is warm honey settling over your skin.

“Hello, fiancé,” you return breathily, pulling back to bring your foreheads together as he gently lowers you back to your feet.

And when his lips meet yours, your world bursts into a kaleidoscope of colours you could never hope to find the words to describe.

He is your safe harbour. Your home away from home. The family friend you have known for as long as you can remember... And he is engaged to you.

17 Trellis Ideas to Transform Your Backyard into a Gorgeous Garden

From functional support for climbing plants to stunning outdoor art, trellises offer endless possibilities for your landscape design.

Trellises are more than just decorative features in a garden. These versatile structures provide support for climbing plants, serve as privacy screens, create outdoor architecture, offer protection from the sun, and even function as full-fledged pieces of art. In this comprehensive guide, we explore 17 trellis ideas that will help you transform your backyard into a stunning garden.

We spoke with trellis craftsmen, plant experts, landscape designers, and interior designers from around the country to gather their insights and expertise. Whether you have a small garden or a sprawling landscape, these trellis ideas will inspire you to create a beautiful outdoor space.

youtube

What is a Trellis?

A trellis is a framework or structure used to support climbing plants or as a decorative feature in a garden. It can be made of various materials such as wood, metal, PVC, or bamboo poles. Trellises can be freestanding or attached to a wall.

While similar to arbors and pergolas, which have arched roofs or larger four-post structures, trellises are often used as sides for these structures.

Popular Garden Trellis Ideas

One popular use of trellises is for growing fruit and vegetable climbers. Trellises allow vining plants like tomatoes or cucumbers to grow vertically, saving space in small gardens. Additionally, trellises can be used to create private outdoor escapes, such as living walls with climbing plants, or separate outdoor spaces like private dining areas or reading nooks.

Easiest Plants to Grow on a Trellis

When it comes to choosing plants for your trellis, there are several options. Evergreen flowering vines like star jasmine provide a year-round look and a delightful scent from the blooms. Other recommended plants include wisteria, English ivy, hydrangeas, clematis, honeysuckle, and climbing roses.

These plants have excellent scaling skills and will add beauty to your trellis.

Trellis Alternatives

If you're looking for alternatives to traditional trellises, consider using cattle panels, driftwood, or reclaimed wood. Cattle panels are a sturdy option for growing plants, while driftwood and reclaimed wood offer a unique and creative surface for plants to grow on. You can also repurpose items such as old ladders, metal pipes, or bicycle frames to create a one-of-a-kind trellis that adds an interesting touch to your garden space.

DIY Trellis Ideas

If you're feeling crafty, there are plenty of DIY trellis ideas that you can try. Bamboo sticks are an easy and affordable option for creating a vertical garden. Simply attach them at the top with twine or zip ties and splay out the base to allow plants to grow up.

Another creative idea is to use an old bed spring as a trellis. Spray paint the springs in your favorite color to make them stand out in your backyard as your plants beautifully intertwine. For smaller trellises, repurpose an old expandable coat rack and position it in the soil.

Trellises offer endless possibilities for transforming your backyard into a gorgeous garden. Whether you're looking to create a vertical garden, add privacy to your outdoor space, or showcase your creativity with unique trellis alternatives, there is a trellis idea for every garden enthusiast. By incorporating these ideas and expert insights, you can elevate your landscape design and create a stunning outdoor oasis.

10 Charming Small Garden Ideas to Spruce Up Your Outdoor Space

youtube

Transform Your Small Space into a Lush Oasis

Nurturing a garden can bring immense joy and satisfaction. The presence of lush greenery and vibrant flowers can instantly transform your outdoor space, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Whether you have a small balcony, a tiny backyard, or a compact patio, there are numerous charming small garden ideas that can help you create a beautiful oasis.

In this article, we will explore a range of budget-friendly hacks and creative solutions to help you spruce up your outdoor space, regardless of your gardening experience.

Building Raised Garden Beds

One of the most effective ways to maximize space and add visual interest to your small garden is by building raised garden beds. These elevated planters not only create a defined space for your plants but also make gardening more accessible, especially for those with limited mobility. You can build raised beds using various materials such as wood, stone, or even recycled materials like old tires or wine barrels.

Consider the height, width, and depth of the beds based on the plants you wish to grow and the available space.

Once you have constructed your raised garden beds, fill them with nutrient-rich soil and choose a variety of plants that thrive in your climate. You can grow colorful flowers, aromatic herbs, or even vegetables and fruits. The key is to plan your garden layout carefully, considering the sunlight and water requirements of each plant.

Creating Unique Vertical Gardens

If you have limited horizontal space, vertical gardens can be a game-changer. These innovative plant displays not only add a unique aesthetic to your garden but also maximize the use of vertical surfaces. There are numerous ways to create vertical gardens, depending on your style and available resources.

One popular method is using wall-mounted planters or hanging baskets. These can be easily installed on fences, walls, or even balcony railings. Another option is utilizing repurposed materials such as pallets or old ladders to create a vertical garden.

Simply attach pots or planters to the structure and fill them with your favorite plants.

For a more unconventional approach, consider using a living wall system. These modular panels are designed to support a variety of plants and can be easily customized to fit your space. Vertical gardens not only save space but also create a stunning focal point in your garden.

Decorating with Potted Plants

Potted plants are a versatile and easy way to add greenery and color to your small garden. They can be placed on balconies, patios, or even window sills. When choosing pots, consider the size, material, and style that best complements your outdoor space.

Grouping potted plants of varying heights and textures creates visual interest and adds depth to your garden. You can also experiment with different plant combinations, mixing flowers, foliage, and even small shrubs. Hanging planters are another popular option, especially for those with limited floor space.

They can be suspended from ceilings, pergolas, or even tree branches, adding a whimsical touch to your garden.

Embracing DIY Projects

If you enjoy getting your hands dirty and want to showcase your creativity, there are numerous DIY projects that can enhance your small garden. For example, you can repurpose vinyl gutters into planters and attach them to your porch railing. This modern and budget-friendly hack allows you to grow herbs or trailing flowers in a unique way.

Another DIY project is creating a small fish pond. With a little planning and some basic materials, you can transform a corner of your garden into a tranquil oasis. Add aquatic plants and colorful fish to bring life and movement to your outdoor space.

If you prefer a more minimalist look, consider building an arched trellis covered in trailing plants. This elegant structure not only provides support for climbing plants but also adds a touch of charm to your garden.

Planning Your Garden

Before diving into any garden project, it's essential to plan your space and consider the specific needs of the plants you wish to grow. Assess the amount of sunlight your garden receives throughout the day and choose plants accordingly. Some plants thrive in full sun, while others prefer partial shade.

Additionally, consider the soil type and drainage in your garden. Some plants require well-draining soil, while others thrive in moisture-retentive soil. If your soil quality is poor, you can improve it by adding organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.

Watering is another crucial aspect to consider. Some plants require frequent watering, while others are more drought-tolerant. Grouping plants with similar water needs can simplify your watering routine and ensure the health of your garden.

Inspiring Outdoor Photos

To spark your creativity and help you visualize the possibilities for your small garden, we have curated a collection of outdoor photos. These images showcase a variety of small garden ideas, from charming flower pots on stylish patios to beautifully landscaped front yards. Browse through these photos to find inspiration that suits your personal style and small space.

Transforming your small outdoor space into a lush oasis is not only possible but also an incredibly rewarding endeavor. By implementing the charming small garden ideas discussed in this article, you can create a beautiful and inviting garden that brings joy and tranquility to your daily life. Whether you choose to build raised garden beds, create unique vertical gardens, decorate with potted plants, or embrace DIY projects, there are endless possibilities to explore.

Remember to plan your garden carefully, considering the specific needs of your chosen plants. With a little creativity and dedication, you can create a small garden that reflects your style and provides a sanctuary in the midst of the bustling world.

Ideas Converted To Realty By an Outdoor Living Contractor in Cypress and Sugar Land, TX

Living in a sprawling home with lots of space outside is a boon. Urban living does not ensure such advantages. The homeowner may feel the need to convert some of the outdoor area, notably the backyard as well as the frontage, into a livable space that is fit for entertaining guests and enjoying the bounty of nature in summer. Hiring an experienced outdoor living contractor in Cypress and Sugar Land, TX, can turn the imagination into reality. While the budget and other details may be discussed at length with the contractor being knowledgeable in such matters, it is the property owner and other residents at home who have to take a call about specific types of structures to be constructed.

There are ideas galore when it comes to extending the living quarters outdoors. One is spoilt for choice, trying to decide in favor of one or another structure. While budget may be a constraint, one has to select the best possible structure that fulfills the user's objective. Some of the following ideas may be accepted in enhancing the bare backyard or garden area:

· Pergola- One may install an arched structure known as a pergola in the garden area. This will provide shelter from the natural elements and may be used to enjoy some me-time in the evenings. Moreover, having trailers and creepers covering the structure will enhance the ambiance without the pergola jarring the vision. It may also be used to provide a cover over the existing deck.

· Porch- Constructing a partially covered porch adjoining the main home creates additional living space that may be used to accommodate guests. Placing planters full of blooming in-season flowers can be a natural way to increase the aesthetic appeal.

· Entertainment zone- The homeowner may create a defined space for entertainment by turning a part of the deck into one. Stringing lights or decorative lanterns will bring the area into focus. Erecting a raised platform for performances and digging a fire pit to enjoy barbecues can be ideal for men's corners on weekends.

· Paths- The entire area may be divided into ones replete with meandering paths for convenience and keeping the interest alive. One may add stairs to reach the terrace, sunken pit, and swimming pool. The paths may be created by laying beautiful pavers or with cobblestone and gravel. This layout will mimic the forest, allowing the residents to enjoy nature.

· Fireplace- People residing in areas prone to bitterly cold winters may opt for a fireplace in the backyard as well. Constructing it out of stone will make it look traditional, with lanterns around it, taking one back to those historical times. Enjoy winter evenings with the family is ensured when the warmth from the fireplace makes the surroundings cheerful

Every home needs to be altered to keep up with the times. Besides, the interior and exterior may undergo extensive damage over the years. Repairing the area may be too expensive, with home remodeling in Houston and Katy, TX, being more cost-effective in the long run.

Hosting an outdoor bridal shower can add a touch of natural beauty and serenity to the event. To make this celebration truly memorable, it's essential to pay attention to the details of your bridal shower decorations. In this article, we'll provide you with tips & ideas to create an amazing outdoor bridal shower atmosphere using the right decorations.

Choose a Theme

Start planning your outdoor bridal shower decorations by selecting a theme that resonates with the bride's personality and style. Common themes include garden parties, boho chic, vintage, tropical luau, or rustic charm. Once you have a theme in mind, you can begin to coordinate decorations accordingly.

Invitations Set the Tone

Your bridal shower decorations journey begins with the invitations. Choose invitations that match the selected theme, featuring elements like flowers, greenery, or the chosen color palette. These invitations will give guests a glimpse of what to expect at the event.

Embrace Natural Elements

One of the advantages of an outdoor bridal shower is the natural backdrop it provides. Use the surroundings to your advantage by incorporating natural elements into your decorations. Hang string lights or fairy lights in trees or along a pergola to create a magical ambiance for an evening event. Utilize the beauty of the outdoors with potted plants, floral arrangements, and even hay bales for a rustic touch.

Table Decor

For the dining area, adorn tables with centerpieces that align with your theme. Mason jars filled with wildflowers, succulent arrangements, or vintage teacups filled with fresh blooms are excellent choices. Use table runners, place cards, and napkin rings that match the theme and color scheme.

Seating Arrangements

Provide comfortable seating for guests to relax and enjoy the celebration. Consider renting or arranging lounge furniture, such as wicker chairs with floral cushions, or picnic blankets and cushions for a more casual affair.

DIY Decorations

Get creative and save money by making some of your decorations. Craft paper flower garlands, paint wooden signs, or create a photo booth with props that align with your chosen theme. DIY decorations add a personal touch and can be a fun activity for the bridal party.

Balloons and Banners

Balloons and banners are versatile decorations that can add a festive vibe to your outdoor bridal shower. Hang a customized banner with the bride's name or a sweet message. You can also use balloons to create focal points, like balloon arches or balloon garlands.

Practical Considerations

Remember to consider the practical aspects of an outdoor event. If the bridal shower is during the daytime, provide shade options, such as umbrellas or a tent, to protect guests from the sun. Also, have a backup plan in case of unexpected weather changes, like rain.

Entertainment

Set the mood with the right entertainment options. Hire a live band or DJ to play music that suits the atmosphere, or create a playlist that complements the theme. Fun outdoor games like lawn croquet, cornhole, or a scavenger hunt can also keep guests entertained.

Favors and Keepsakes

As a final touch, thank your guests with thoughtful favors that tie into the theme. Mini-potted plants, customized cookies, or scented candles make excellent tokens of appreciation.

An outdoor bridal shower can be a breathtaking and unforgettable celebration with the right bridal shower decorations. By carefully choosing a theme, embracing natural elements, and incorporating creative DIY touches, you can create an atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of the bride-to-be. With these tips, your outdoor bridal shower will be a joyous and visually stunning event that guests will cherish. For more information, visit us: - https://www.swankyaffair.com/
