It would be hard to convey the love we felt for doing this party without…

What I’m Finding Beautiful This Morning…
Good Morning all. As we wrap up the year, we’re leaving you with something that I’m finding beautiful this morning. It’s not gorgeous confections on the many dessert tables we post, but rather a video that I saw on Upworthy this morning. It makes no difference to me if this is a movie trailer and brilliant marketing, it does the trick and inspires. Take a look here for a little dose of inspiration.
So now…

The season premiere of Revenge is this Sunday {September 29th} so we’re sharing some fun ideas for a Revenge Premiere Party. We think the infinity symbol from the Revenge logo could be a great way to bring in pattern for a premiere party. The Infinity bowl…

Great Finds: GODIVA Truffle Flights
I’m sure you all know, but I’m pretty obsessed with truffles. I mean, what is not to love, right? Chocolate coatings filled with oozy, rich and creamy ganache? I’ve used thousands over the years on my dessert tables, piling them high in compotes and on cake stands. I’ve tried truffles from everywhere. I dare you to test me. Don’t because the list is too long. My standard for truffles is very high. So I was…

HIMYM Premiere Party: The Path to the Yellow Umbrella
The final season of How I Met Your Mother is in a couple of weeks and we think it is going to be LEGEN – wait for it – DARY! We have anxiously been awaiting to see how this story ends and feel as though we’ve been right by Ted’s side over the years as he has moved from one relationship to the next. Each experience leads Ted to the “Girl with the Yellow Umbrella.”…

August is a great month for entertaining. For me, it is the last chance for casual outdoor get togethers and impromptu barbecues before the rush of the school year and holidays. I love using well designed trays for both personal parties and our dessert…

Game. Set. Party.
For many people, the end of summer is defined by Labor Day. We always know the end of summer is approaching when The US Open begins. The US Open is one of our favorite events and we’re really excited we’re attending this year. Each year the best of the best in Tennis come to Flushing Meadows and compete for tennis dominance. We have seen some pretty incredible matches over the years; Sampras vs. Agassi, Williams…

How to Throw a Glam Golf Get Together
The royal baby was not the only news out of England making headlines this week. With all of the excitement surrounding the British Open last week (YAY Phil Mickelson!) our minds were drifting to beautiful fairways and preppy attire. We were inspired by the lush greens and blue water of the course to come up with a Glam Golf Party. We love bringing in elements from the theme, but doing it in an understated way.…

Polka Dot Party: Inspired by Duchess Kate and Princess Diana
We love how Duchess Kate wore a blue and white polka dot Jenny Packham dress yesterday while leaving the hospital just as Princess Diana did when she left the hospital with baby William. We’re huge fans of Kate’s fashion and pulled together some polka dot party ideas inspired by the dress everyone is talking about. These products are timeless and perfect for a baby shower, right?

For St. Patty’s Day, we shared this Root & {Guinness} Beer Float recipe with you. It was only a matter of time before beer made its way into the sweets world with craft beers being all of the rage these days.…

How to Throw a Regal Royal Baby Shower
With the world waiting to hear news about the Royal Baby, royal baby shower themes are definitely on trend. We gathered some fun ideas and products for a Regal Royal baby shower. Since we don’t know if it is a boy or a girl, we think a Britannia Union Jack color palette with royal blue and red is perfect. You don’t need a fortress for this fete. Use baby rattles with handles for napkin holders,…

Loving Lucite!
1) Earrings 2) Clutch 3) Tray 4) Chair 5) Bracelet 6) Coasters 7) Bracelet 8) Fuchsia Bracelet
I ADORE Lucite. Whether it is for interiors, fashion or party design, using Lucite allows you to bring in color and light in a brilliant way. Lucite can be tinted virtually any color and can be transparent, opaque {think milk-glass!}, or opalescent Moonglow. I love wearing Lucite cuffs and necklaces during the summer. My prop closet is also…

Summer Snow Cone Soiree
After posting this snow cone party, we thought it would be fun to share some fun tools for a snow cone soiree. It is high 80s in NYC and we could definitely cool down with an icy treat! We love snow cones because they are easy to make, colorful, nostalgic and refreshing. Serve spiked snow cones for an adult soiree or virgin snow cones for the ‘lil ones. We’ve rounded up our favorite snow cone…
