Hundreds of beach balls in varying sizes set the scene for this summer in the city party…no pool required.
Colorful beach towels served as great accents. They were rolled up as bolster pillows, draped across the furniture, and laid on the floor in lounge areas.
Tall, thin vases were filled with limes and water and topped with bright yellow sunflowers.
Blue, green, yellow, and orange linens covered the tables, which were decorated with blowup palm trees and rainbow-colored beach umbrellas.
Guests snacked on vodka-infused watermelon slices -- perfect for a hot summer day.
Adding to the fresh, summer vibe, vases filled with limes accented the coffee tables in the lounge area.
No summer party is complete without a cookout. Cheeseburgers topped with Gherkin pickles were a huge hit.
In addition to an oyster bar with Bloody Mary shots, there was also a clambake with shrimp, mussels, clams, and more.
White sangria and a signature pink Swanktini kept guests refreshed while basking in the summer heat.
Guests went crazy over the snow cone station where they could pick their own flavor and top it with liquor.
Faux firefly Mason jars served as the centerpieces and flickered alongside votives.
Picnic tables, rainbow-colored umbrellas, and Christmas lights decorated the outdoor terrace.
Elegant lanterns lined the terrace and gave the party an ethereal summertime feel.
For dessert, guests sucked down Bailey’s milkshakes with colorful straws.
Blowup baby pools filled with ice and beer ensured that the terrace bar fully stocked.
