When I think about a summer spent al fresco, I'm not dreaming about my own boring backyard but instead am imagining transporting myself into Nancy Meyers' world – surrounded by big blooming hydrangeas, oversized patio chairs that feel like sinking into a hug, and the clink of the coldest, crispiest glass of wine.
Whether it's Something’s Gotta Give, It’s Complicated, or The Parent Trap's Napa Valley ranch, the Nancy Meyers aesthetic is as intentionally relaxed outdoors just as much as it is inside. And this summer, I’ve been on a mission to bring a little of that breezy, lived-in charm into my own backyard.
