Nothing is more beautiful than a sunny day in the Greek Isles. That was the inspiration for this summer party decor with Greek flair—in bright blue and yellow—happiness has been achieved.
Think sea and sun: Hot yellow and a light sea blue can totally enliven a party scene. I chose these objects as the style statement for my party plan with a Greek theme. In addition to the bright colors, a focus on classic Greek Key pattern is mandatory. And to keep bad vibes away, make sure to include an evil eye into the mix. Your friends will thank you for the protection.
