Chris Nease – Founding Editor & Creative Director

With over 15 years of experience, Chris is recognized as an entertaining expert, and creative party stylist.   Although she earned her degree in Fashion Merchandising, she parlayed her love of food and visual display into home entertaining and tabletop styling.  For years she has designed parties with her unique and accessible style.  

In addition to being creative director of Celebrations At Home, Chris shares her expertise through freelance contributions and has been published in Woman’s World, Cottages & Bungalows, Yum Food & Fun for Kids, Ocala Style, HGTV.com, and she authored a chapter on holiday party planning in the book Clutterbugs Guide to an Organized Christmas.  Chris also volunteers her time to Operation Shower, a non-profit organization providing group baby showers to wives of our deployed service men.

Chris works with brands and campaigns to bring awareness to readers through an entertaining setting, including Pottery Barn, Pier 1, Alexia Foods, Pepperidge Farm, Hadley Pottery, Columbia Crest, TableVogue, and more.   She’s a regular contributor for Celebrations, HomeMade Simple, Homes.com, and other quarterly publications.

Chris lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband, daughter {12}, and son {10}.  Her philosophy is that every celebration should include the right mix of people, and have interesting and memorable details.
