For garden parties in the fall, try using hay bales as seats and placing mums along side. Have a bonfire and snuggle around on fluffy bales of hay (you could even throw a quilt on top)

Editor's Note: Hay is extremely flammable and should be kept well away from any fire source. Use caution and have a hose or fire extinguisher handy whenever burning in the backyard.
All I can say is TG for your editor's notes! Using hay bales around a bon fire would be a disaster waiting to happen! You're better to grab some lawn chairs and use them. Or make benches out of some boards. If you want them comfy, throw some cushions on them!

I tend to disagree with this. I can't imagine using a bale of hay around a fire. It sounds cozy however, caution and extreme danger is advised.
Editor's Note: We put an editor's note to that affect but also notice in the picture the fire is contained in an outdoor fireplace.
