The outdoor season is on and lots of outdoor parties are coming! There’s no outdoor party without a proper drink station or bar, and I’d like to share some ideas to style such a station for your own party. Let’s get started!
Outdoor Drink Stations
An outdoor drink station or bar can be easily made of a couple of cabinets, a vintage dresser, sideboard, a cart or anything else you like: it depends on the style you like. If it’s a rustic cart, go for a wooden console table, maybe on casters, if it’s a modern and glam party, go for a gilded cart on wheels, if you prefer vintage style, why not make a vintage console table painted in pastels or a vintage cupboard in the same pastel shades. Decorate your station with potted greenery and blooms – those in vases will be also a nice fit. Arrange fruits and berries not only for pimping the cocktails but also for decor: place lemons in a large metal bowl or bucket, for example. Put tanks with drinks into stands and holders that match the style: wicker or metal ones for a rustic party, glass ones for a modern party and so on.

Catchy Outdoor Drink Stations
If you want a catchy and unusual drink bar or station, think of some bold ideas to make it of. A ladder with shelves, an old canoe boat, an oversized barrel cut out to store the drinks, an oversized wooden spool, a drink station of crates and a tabletop can become a cool piece for your outdoor party. Fill the piece with ice cubes and drinks, decorate it with a tassel garland and chalkboard signs. Get inspired!
