The tropical trend! I personally love that this is a trend right now. Who doesn’t want to step into a world of pina coladas, beachy vibes and serious vacay flashbacks? The only problem with themes like this is that the party decor can get cheesy real fast. So I put together a compilation of tropical goodness to break down how to throw a stylish tropical-themed party. Let’s get the tropical party ideas rollin’!
Colors
Colors are always where I start as a designer. They set the mood, as well as reign in multitudes of ideas I get excited by. I included white as part of the color palette because I think it provides a calming complement to the intenser blushes and greens. Because tropical is all about the flowers, you can bring in a lot of color just through florals. And you should (in my humble opinion)! Just use white to help balance everything out 🙂
For the Table
I LOVE this pineapple bouquet. It’s such a gorgeous statement piece for table decor.
Also, how pretty are these pink napkins with gold silverware!
For the Cocktails
Decorate drinks with this simple palm frond tutorial.
Need a yummy tropical cocktail to serve? What about this pineapple margarita? Or check out my delicious batch margaritas (and margarita popsicles!).
Or if you want to go full-vacay style, this Pina Colada recipe uses coconut ice cream.
The Decor + Backdrop
This palm leaf balloon tutorial shows how to add a unique and stylish touch to your decor.
Also, this simple floral backdrop has a gorgeous effect.
The Signage
This DIY sign tutorial uses plywood and white paint to create a beautiful, natural wood look.
