Create A Posh Place Under The Sun


More Party Ideas



Celebrate nature's beauty by using beach tones and textures at your picnic by using sea and color schemes, shades, and coastal comfort.

Sand & Sea Color Scheme
  • Choose cool acrylic glasses in coastal colors.
  • Go eco-chic with bamboo wooden utensils and plates.
  • Send the kids on a shell hunt and create a seaside centerpiece for your picnic or a fun border around your space in the sand.

Stylish Shore Shade

  • Shade your picnic in style with a chic pop-up canopy (pictured above). On a windy day, be sure to stake the canopy securely in the sand.
  • Hang sheer white curtains or mesh tent walls from a sturdy canopy structure for extra shade and an elegant touch.
  • Illuminate your picnic at night with battery-operated light strings.

Coastal Comfort

  • Use nice wooden crates to tote beach supplies and then turn them over to use as tables. Place cloth napkins on the crates to dress them up.
  • Keep in theme with wooden fold-up beach chairs.
  • Cover inflatable pillows with neutral color pillowcases or shams to add a comfy style.
