Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining
Since today is the first full day of Spring, I think it’s the perfect time to debut an Easter printable collection from the very talented, Bird, of Bird’s Party! Bird created a super-cute, and unique Easter set with orange, yellow, green, and brown – a color combo that is sure to appeal to the boys as… Read More
I shared Part 1 of the baby shower here, with the tabletop design, and activities. Now, I’ll share the food tables and some recipes from our Middle Eastern-Monkey themed shower. The lunch buffet was fun to do, and easy. I layered some woven rugs on the table as our base, then laid out the food in woven baskets and spice-toned… Read More
This post has been a long time coming! I designed this Moroccan themed baby shower {with monkeys} months ago for a client, but with holidays and new projects that arose, I just never had time to share it until now. The theme is unique, and truly custom for the expecting mother. She and her husband met while working in… Read More
I think St. Patrick’s Day is one of the most fun celebrations of the year – right up there with Mardi Gras! It’s a time to throw a party just for the pure pleasure of having food & cocktails with friends, and it’s acceptable to get a little ‘cheeky’ with decor and details! I’ve put together some ideas… Read More

This is a Sweet 16 birthday party I designed recently for a beautiful young lady who is “reaching for the stars.” We used her favorite color palette as a starting point and sprinkled in a little bit of a star motif. The event was captured perfectly by Paige Stevens Photography. I worked with Lindi of Love the… Read More
This gorgeous dinner party was sent to me by Julie of A Reason to get Together, and hosts a most unique concept. In Julie’s words: “It was a “Mastering The Art Of French Cooking” dinner party. I had all of our guests (14 total) bring a dish from the cookbook. People brought appetizers, entrees, sides,… Read More
I’d like to give a big Welcome to our newest sponsor, The Paper Cupcake. Charlotte of The Paper Cupcake has recently opened her etsy shop, but has tons of experience designing paper goods (as seen here). At The Paper Cupcake, she offers printable partyware and other paper goods/stationery. My favorite part is that she loves… Read More
You may know my love for an animal print – especially zebra stripes (as seen here). What was once over-the-top “Cougar” style, or 70′s “Bachelor Pad,” is now chic and even classic. So when I saw how Tara Wilson of Tara Wilson Events incorporated GREEN zebra stripes, I was over the moon! I love the… Read More
