Planning a Christmas wedding? This fun take on a Christmas in July bridal party is what you need in your life. Imagine sipping Christmas cocktails poolside while Christmas music flows through the air. The mistletoe is hung with tropical flowers and palm trees are draped in holiday lights. Is there a better way to get into the spirit of planning a Christmas wedding while the temps are still balmy? I don't think so. 

This party could easily be set for a Baby Shower or Sip and See as having a summer baby can feel like Christmas in July (be sure to include some mocktails for the mommy-to-be!), or just a grown up cocktail party as everyone tries to beat the heat. 

Here's what you need to complete the look: 

Set the mood for your bash with these  tropical holiday invitations or festive Christmas cards

Drape this tassel garland on the dessert table for a festive look

Garnish your holiday drinks with a sprig of rosemary for a winter look

Hang this fun balloon banner above your bar cart

Create a tropical take on the tradition wreath like this one

Make this fun twist on a holiday cheese ball 

Flowers in pineapples make the best centerpieces. Choose red for an added punch of color

Make your signature drink the Saint Nickarita
