PARTY LOVE: BUBBLES & BALLOONS

Here's how we do summer. Gather friends and family to celebrate in style.

Create a focal point (and photo opp) by dressing a window with a big, beautiful balloon garland.

Add in soft, organic leaves like silver dollar eucalyptus to add texture and create a modern display.

Layer in touches of summer floral on tables, bars, buffets, windowsills.

And raise the bar with a gorgeous bar display. The bar at a cocktail party is the main focus - and so easy to glam up to create a beautiful first impression.

Step 1: Champagne Tower

Create a bar focal point, with a diy champagne tower. Stack coupes onto a tray, and fill with chilled champagne as guests arrive. Add edible blooms like pansies, for a pretty touch.

Step 2: Specialty Cocktail

Everybody loves to taste something new - so mix up a cocktail that pulls in your party theme. Create a printed menu for the bar to list ingredients and share flavors easily.

Step 3: Pretty Punch

A big beautiful punch bowl is always a wow factor - and doubles as both decor and a cocktail.

Happy summer weekend - here's to friends, family, and making memories together.
