The idea
Think soft ocean colors, plenty of shimmer and a little treasure for everyone. This theme works beautifully by a pool, on a beach or right in the living room with a bit of imagination.
Make it sparkle
Iridescent tablecloths, holographic plates and pearl balloons catch the light and make every photo glow. Add sea glass, shells and a bowl of chocolate coins for a treasure chest guests can raid at the end of the party.
