Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining
I have a pretty, feminine tea party to share today, all the way from Portugal. This tea party display was put together by Sophia of Bistrot Chic, for a client celebrating Mother’s Day a little early with her mom and aunt. Although Mother’s Day has come and gone, ANY time of the year is right… Read More
Welcome to part 2 of my shabby chic {fashionista} bridal shower theme {see the table and bar in part 1 here} which is everyone’s favorite – the dessert table. As usual, I used a combination of purchased items and homemade items, and filled in with color coordinating candies. This way the table ends up looking… Read More
I am sooo excited to finally have this project complete and ready to share. I spend so much time creating party ideas for my freelance jobs, that it has taken me about a year to get this done {in my “spare” time}. I wanted to create a bridal shower theme to inspire you, to give… Read More
Food and food themes are some of my favorite starting points for entertaining. Cinco de Mayo is all about Mexican dishes, a pizza party gives you reason to try new variations, an Asian theme takes you to the Orient, and a chili cook-off with a chili bar is a great way to get friends involved… Read More
Looking forward to New Years Eve? This dinner party design I created for The Party Dress magazine is perfect for ringing in the new year or celebrating a special birthday. The idea was to work with a plaid theme, but I didn’t want to do the flannel, rustic, or traditional red that has been done… Read More
Today let’s talk about the second dessert table I styled for Urbanity Studios. For the traditionalist, check out my red & green design, but if you want something a bit more elegant and adult try these ideas inspired by the blue, silver, and white color palette used for the SAME Patchwork Christmas Tree invitation. I… Read More
For me, Christmas is synonymous with decorating and entertaining, so when I had the chance to create a holiday party for Pier 1 using some of their items, I was thrilled! You know how I love to incorporate food as part of the party decor so pieces from their tasting party were “must haves” for… Read More
Last year I went all out for my Thanksgiving inspiration design, with lots of diy ideas and projects. This year I thought I would keep it a bit more simple. I thought about all the busy hostesses out there who are working hard just to get the food cooked in time, and don’t want to… Read More
More and more I’m seeing people use black and white as their primary color palette for Halloween decor. It’s such a classic combination and seems to add a bit of sophistication to an otherwise kitschy holiday {of course it can also be taken in the spooky or macabre direction}. I’ve been pinning some of my… Read More
Hi guys! I hope you’re getting ready to enjoy a long Labor Day weekend. This has been a very stressful week for me as you may have noticed the site was down TWICE in 4 days. Technical issues have consumed my brain this week and I’m ready to get back to creative ones! On the… Read More
