Tropical Chic Party

Summer is officially here, even though living in Florida it’s summer everyday..LOL! Bring on the heat and pool days! To celebrate summer, I decided to throw a tropical chic party. The backdrop for this party was created using a gorgeous white 12ft balloon garland filled with fresh, tropical greenery. Food was kept on the lighter side with a simple charcuterie board.

I headed to my local florist to purchase the greenery I would be adding into my balloon garland to bring the tropical vibes to life!

15-20 areca palms
20 green palm reeds
4 selloum palms
Purple orchid spray
I made the 12ft garland with pearl white 11″ and 5″ balloons along with 11″ white tissue confetti balloons. You can purchase your own DIY kit here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/608598764/balloon-garland-diy-balloon-garland?ref=shop_home_active_1

Once your garland is complete, start by sliding palms into the garland alternating directions.

Here are the food items I purchased for the charcuterie board:

Imported aged cheddar
Brie
Salami
Pepperoni stick
Grapes
Raspberries
Blackberries
Cheese twists
Artisan crackers
Savory rice thins crackers
Hot pepper raspberry preserves
There’s no right or wrong way to assemble your board, just have fun with it!

A macrame table runner added a boho touch to the food table. To bring more tropical vibes, I also decorated the table with a fresh pineapple and purple orchid spray.

I love how this party turned out! It is super easy to recreate with the simple, yet gorgeous tropical touches. I hope this gives some inspiration for your summer events!
