There’s something magical about summer celebrations—the energy, the colors, the golden hour lighting that makes every photo look flawless. Whether you are planning a birthday bash, quince, baby shower, or summer wedding, this season gives you the perfect excuse to get creative and go bold with your event style.
At Heroes Ballroom, we love seeing how guests bring the sunshine indoors with decor that is vibrant, fresh, and full of personality. Need a little inspiration? We’ve got you covered with some of our favorite summer decor trends and ideas—plus how we can help you bring them to life.
Bright Colors Are In
Summer is the season to say goodbye to neutrals and hello to bold, joyful color. Think coral, lemon yellow, fuchsia, turquoise, and even citrus-inspired palettes.
A few ways to bring in that color pop:
- Draped linens in bold shades
- Floral centerpieces with sunflowers, dahlias, or tropical leaves
- Custom colored LED lighting to match your theme
- Signature drinks that match your decor palette (hello, mango margaritas)
Social Tables highlights the power of color psychology in setting the vibe—and we’ve seen firsthand how a bright color palette can instantly energize the room.
Indoor Garden Party Vibes
Who says garden parties are just for the backyard? Our ballroom transforms beautifully into a floral oasis with the right touches.
You can bring in:
- Hanging greenery and faux vines
- Floral arches or backdrops
- Garden-inspired seating arrangements
- A picnic-style dessert table or champagne cart
Over at the MGL Room, clients often love turning the space into a blooming scene with custom florals, lighting, and tableware.
Tropical and Coastal Themes
Another favorite? Turning up the beachy vibe. If your guest of honor loves island life, we’ve seen amazing setups that include:
- Palm leaf table runners
- Coconut cups or pineapples as centerpieces
- Rattan lounge furniture
- Steel drum bands or island playlists
Need help sourcing decor or entertainers to match the theme? Our trusted vendor list is packed with pros who have brought these ideas to life time and time again.

Balloons, Backdrops, and Photo Ops
If it’s not Instagrammable, did it even happen? We’re seeing a big wave of photo-forward decor right now, and summer is the perfect time to play with fun backdrops like:
- Balloon walls in sunset shades
- Flower walls with neon signs
- Fringe backdrops with a custom monogram
- Summer themed props like sunglasses or surfboards
Your guests will love snapping photos—and your graduate, birthday honoree, or newlyweds will love the memories.
