What’s not to love about boats, sailing, the ocean, and birthdays?  Sara, from Portugal, styled a fun-loving nautical party for her son’s 4th birthday, and she added so many cute details!  I am excited to share her fabulous ideas for styling a seaside celebration!  I especially love these adorable little sailboats!

I also love the origami boats floating on the ocean blue party ball!  How clever!

This is such a darling tent made to resemble a sailboat~ Sara added quilts and pillows for a cozy spot to set sail during the party!

The party food was just as cute and festive~ take a look at this fabulous fruit sailboat…

Sara did a great job of making the party basics look stylish~

Festive sails on the straws…

The party guests were treated to gold coins scooped from the sea!

What a fun day for a sweet little boy!  Thank you for sharing the party fun with us, Sara!
