Chic festival: blends rustic charm with elegance. Beautiful tableware, flowers, and fine fabrics lend a more sophisticated touch to the party.

Traditional festival: lots of straw, wood, straw hats, and checkered patterns. It’s the most common style and never goes out of fashion.

Festival of Colors: It’s all very colorful, with little flags and balloons in vibrant shades. Perfect for lively, modern parties.

1. Colorful Flags

Classic and a must-have. All you need is some colored paper, scissors, and string. Hang them everywhere: the ceiling, doors, windows, and anywhere else you can.

2. Paper Balloons

Colorful, large, or small. Use them to decorate your entryway or create a backdrop. Easy to find and perfect for June festivities.

3. Straw and Straw Hats

Use hats as wall decorations or even as centerpieces. Straw can be used to decorate tables, panels, and corners.

4. Flashing Lights

Take advantage of the Christmas lights and string them along the walls, over the tables, and across the ceiling. They create a cozy and beautiful atmosphere at night.

5. Decorated Jars and Bottles

Paint and decorate glass bottles or jars with ribbons, straw, or burlap. They work well as flower vases or with candles inside.

6. Wildflower Arrangements

Sunflowers, carnations, daisies… Place them in cans, jars, or bottles. Mix them with ears of corn or wheat.

7. Panel with Wooden Pallets

Use it as a backdrop for photos or to highlight the main table. You can decorate it with small flags, photos, and string lights.

8. Checkered Towel and Colorful Fabrics

Use them on tables, as curtains, on the floor, or hung on the walls. They add color and character to the party.

9. Decorations Made from Recycled Materials

Paper rolls become cutlery holders. Jars become lamps. Use what you have at home and let your creativity run wild.

10. Elaborate Dessert Table

Traditional sweets in small glass jars or rustic trays. Place small signs with the names of the treats. Decorate with corn, fabric, and flowers.
