I decorated a room with a  beach scene setter" with 2 plastic palm trees at the archway entering the room. We had a bubble macine going the whole time!! i got an oversize conch shell and starfish and placed them in the room. And took tons of real sea shells and put different color glitter on all different ones!! I also put lots of blue balloons on the floor. I had a a craft table with make yoor own leis from oriental trading companyand they could scoop them out with the shovels! Attached to the table was hibiscous flowers and a huge display of pineapples and all kinds of melonsstrawberriesect.. with these long picks that have hibiscous flowers all down them all coming out all the friut through the whole arrangementwith shiny pink party cups with pink lemonade with a cherry and hibiscous flowerd straws (also from Oriental Tradind co.) The whole table was so floweyand girly and just pretty!!
