Summer Party Inspiration: Host a Boho Outdoor Movie Night
For this recent summer party, my client wanted a very chic but simple boho vibe as she hosted her close friends and family for an outdoor movie night. With that in mind, I worked closely with Fancy That Events! to curated the perfect setting for a relaxed but luxe summer celebration.
As you can see, layering and pairing rugs, pillows and beautifully textured pieces together was instrumental in the execution of the look and feeling we were going for. Everything needed to be comfortable but elevated and special. For the florals I utilized soft hues of peach and cream, and incorporated pampas grass to tie in the boho look. Custom cocktails were served at the bar and every attendee had a personalized bucket of popcorn waiting for them. The touches of color throughout the decor gave everything a great summer look, and filling the space with an abundance of lanterns and candles created a magical ambiance as the sun set and the movie began.
Wouldn’t you LOVE to attend a summer movie night like this?
Planning a party? Here are a few of my favorite summer party decor tips:
Use flowers that are going to be sturdy outside.
Hot sun can quickly wilt flowers, so choose blooms and foliage that can withstand some heat, and make sure they have plenty of cool water in their containers. Keep your arrangements indoors or in the shade until just before the party.
Light up the space with lots of candles and soft ambient lighting.
There’s nothing like the warmth of candlelight, but LED and solar lighting is wonderful as well (and can be a much safer option in dry summer climates). There are so many fun, easy lighting accents available today. Explore your options and create the perfect combination for your outdoor space using candles, string lights, lanterns and more.
Be playful and incorporate color!
Summertime is the ideal season to add some fun bright colors and rich textures to your space. Have fun with it!
