Summer parties are so sweet. Many of us can't wait to start hosting celebrations with our friends and families when the season rolls in. Whether it's a birthday party, dinner party, pool party or cocktails with friends, we'll find any reason to celebrate under the sun. 

Summer decorations are essential to enhance your event. From summer-inspired drinks and brightly colored cakes to floating flower displays and enchanting lighting, many ways exist to create a beautiful summer aesthetic. We have a range of ideas for all ages!

If you are planning a summer party, our decoration ideas will help you celebrate in color and style. Whether you plan an enchanting summer evening soiree or a fun-filled beach-themed day, we have something for you. 

Design meets function with an outdoor bar cart. Use it to display your refreshing summer cocktails and decorate your outdoor space beautifully. For a family-friendly event, you can stock the cart with drink options for the kids. Gather your summer bar cart essentials like colorful drinkware with delightful wine glass charms or cocktail umbrellas. Complete your setup with a vase and fresh flowers. Display your cocktail garnishes like lime, watermelon or pineapple to add a tropical touch. 

Are you a plant lover? Nothing says summer like lush greenery. Instead of splurging on decor, buy plants to spruce up your space! The bonus is that they'll last long after your soiree. Fresh herbs enhance home-cooked meals, and they look good and add a beautiful scent to the space. Cut flowers in vases work well as centerpieces on a table, or you can scatter plants around your space in decorative pots.

The beauty of flowers floating in water can transform your space. Use a bird bath, pool, pond or large containers to create your floral display. While aquatic flowers like lotus flowers and water lilies may be a natural choice, plenty of other non-aquatic flowers float. You can use flathead flowers like gerberas in hot pink and sunshine yellow for a tropical feel. Broadhead blooms like chrysanthemums and peonies also work well for a feminine soiree. Snip their heads off and release them into the water for this eye-catching summer decoration. 

Creative napkin folds are the perfect way to add interest to your summer dining setup. Folding napkins may seem intimidating, but many simple tutorials can help you master your skills. Use creative napkin folds to hold your silverware for a casual summer table setting. While most folds work with square fabric napkins, paper napkin creations are available as a more affordable option. 

Birdcages are a versatile decor option that adds beautiful detail to parties. You can use them to hold candles to create beautiful ambient lighting. Suspend your birdcage lighting from trees in your backyard and let them light up your space as the sun sets. Fill a few with flowers or succulents for gorgeous table centerpieces. 

Make your summer extra festive with a party banner. A balloon banner will turn any summer soiree into a celebration! Mix and match different colors for a tropical summer fiesta or use cool pastel hues for a more sophisticated vibe. A floral banner is perfect for summer, and you can hang it up on a wall to create a beautiful backdrop for photos.

On hot summer days, hydration is essential! Adding fruit and flowers can turn your water or drink pitchers into a beautiful display. Making swoon-worthy summer drinks can be super simple — for cocktails, fill a pitcher of sangria with fruit like strawberries, pears, oranges, pineapple, watermelon and cherries. The vibrant colors in this drink add the perfect flavor for a summer party. 

Infuse your water pitchers with fresh cucumber, lemon, strawberry and roses. On an extra hot day, freeze pieces of fruit in ice cubes and let them melt in the water as the day passes. 

String lights are functional and beautiful, so they're perfect for an outdoor summer party. As the sun sets, these dazzling lights will add mesmerizing lighting to your outdoor space. You can hang them over your table settings or weave them around trees or garden fences. If you don't have a covered patio or trees, use buckets filled with decorative stones to anchor the lights.

A suspended centerpiece will make an immediate impact on guests. You can suspend a few mason jars filled with lights or glass lanterns with candles throughout your space to set the mood with warm lighting. Or, try hanging a bouquet of flowers or greenery over your table for a unique display.

What could be sweeter than a summer-themed cake? Dress up your cake with bright colors and your favorite summer details. You can make a cake that reminds you of the beach, complete with blue frosting, sugar sand and seashell toppers. A strawberry or coconut cake is a fruit lover's dream. For kids, have fun with bright frosting to add to the summer feel. An ice cream cake may be perfect for a hot summer day!

A neon sign is a sure winner if you're looking for a photo-worthy backdrop. This lighting option is fun for any party, especially during summer. Customizable options are available to light up your name or favorite saying. To match your theme, light up the words "Hello Summer" or display florescent tropical leaves and pineapples to enhance the summer vibes. 

Bring the beach to you with a beach summer party! Add a twist to the balloon arch and create one made of beach balls. In summer, beach balls are relatively easy to come by— all you need is a selection of different sizes. Gather your beach balls, pipes and fabric to create your custom beach ball arch. It will brighten your day and add to the cheer of your beach party. 

When you have a party outdoors, your guests need respite from the sun. In an uncovered setting, set up some shade. Fringe umbrellas and parasols will add a chic touch, or you can create a canopy. Use simple outdoor fabric to create improvised shade by attaching it to surrounding trees or fences. Incorporate your shade into your theme with matching colors, or add string lights and other decorations. 

Get creative with pom poms to add color to your space. Hang them from trees, beams and light poles for vibrant bursts of color. These fuss-free decorations will help to transform your space and make it summer-worthy. Buy a few pom poms or create your own using various types of colorful and patterned paper. 

Parties during summer are so much sweeter. The sun is shining, the flowers are in full bloom and the days are longer. Summer decor helps to add to the excitement of the season and brighten up the party. From the drinks to the cake and lighting, help your customers add a touch of summer to almost every element of their space.
