How to Throw the Perfect Old Florida-Themed Party And What to Wear

There’s something timeless and a little bit fabulous about the charm of Old Florida. Think rattan everything, pastel palettes, citrus cocktails, and an easygoing mix of vintage glamour and coastal fun. Whether you're hosting a summer soirée, celebrating a birthday, or just want an excuse to break out the flamingo decor, an Old Florida-themed party is always a good idea, and of course, we’ve got just the looks for it!

THE VIBE:
Your inspo? Slim Aarons meets a roadside fruit stand. Lean into all things retro coastal: palm prints, flamingos, bamboo bar carts, seashell centerpieces, and vintage postcards. Serve up key lime pie, shrimp cocktail, and maybe even a classic rum punch. Bonus points for a playlist full of golden oldies and bossa nova.

WHAT TO WEAR:
At Cabana, we’re all about dressing for the moment, and this one calls for color, character, and a touch of sparkle. Here’s what to pack or pick up before your next Old Florida Soirée.

🌺 Bold Prints & Breezy Dresses
Think punchy florals, citrus motifs, and retro-inspired patterns. A breezy maxi or statement set will keep you comfy and cute from cocktails to the conga line.

🐚 Statement Accessories
Add a straw clutch, a beaded purse, or a cheeky pouch with a saying that makes your guests smile. The more playful, the better!

🦩 Sun Hats & Sunnies
Channel that poolside glam with a wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses.

💖 Jewelry with a Twist
Stack on some enewton bracelets or throw on a charm necklace for a little glint in the sunshine. We love mixing gold with pops of color to match the mood.
