The school summer holidays kicked off last week in the UK, and so far it has been a bit of a washout! If, like us, you're holding out for sunnier weather in the coming weeks, but just can't wait that long to enjoy it, then why not fake it?
Throw yourselves a faux-beach party to bring those sweet Summer vibes to you! Turn your garden or living room into a lively beach party scene, complete with beach ball bunting, seaside inspired snacks, and cocktails!
We've been getting inspired on Pinterest for some cool beach party ideas and decoration tips. The main ingredient for an effective beach party is colour! Use paper lanterns, crepe streamers, colourful table covers, and balloons to brighten up your home and brighten up the grey British weather.
Another great idea is the theme your treats. Make beach ball inspired cake pops, use buckets for bowls, spades for serving spoons and create a big tub of 'Sea Water' in the form of a refreshing blue cocktail!
So dig out your best Hawaiian shirt, don your lei, string up some beach balls, throw in an inflatable palm tree and lets get this Summer well and truly under way!
Are you looking to brighten up your summer?
