St. Patrick's Day is 'round the corner, and what better appetizer than a creamy houmous, to soak up the lashings of Guinness ?! This is a favorite dip in our house, and makes a welcome appearance on many cocktail parties because it's super easy and quick to make, quite healthy, you can make it a day in advance, and tastes DIVINE! My husband has been know to "drink" the stuff. Neat! So I always make sure I make plenty. And I have a little secret for making it super creamy too!
St Patrick's Day is just around the corner, so we've been inspired by all things green and gold! Gold is in our party palettes most time of the year, but couple with emerald hues in Feb., it makes for a classy and grown-up festive combination for any St Paddy's Day dinner parties, family gatherings, and of course seasonal weddings!
Photo source Though we're all prepping for back to school 'round here, summer is not over yet. No, sir!

I recently worked on another super fun shoot for HGTV (hope to share details soon!) and had some leftover materials and a burst of inspiration (not to mention a bunch of glass yogurt pots I had been collection for yonks...). This is how these pink, glittered, candle cuties came to be. They'd be perfect for those lazy summer evenings - Imagine how they'd flicker and glisten on your tabletops or patios. Pretty picture, right?! :) Super easy to make too (I used melt and pour wax!). Get the full crafty tutorial below.

Halloween is not just for little children. Yes, us big kids also enjoy the whole dressing up and spooky fun to be had. BUT, the whole candy extravaganza might not appeal to all, and this is where today's post comes in super handy!

This party theme without a doubt, is one of my faves so far! It was styled by our talented contributor and mega creative stylist, Jennifer from Banner Events ; and I just adore all the attention to detail she put into the styling! Jennifer came up with the concept for the a Golf Themed Father's Day Party , as well as the ideas for the colors and argyle pattern; and we brainstormed a little over the design of the party printables . She also collaborated with some extremely dedicated and talented vendors and professionals to create a stunning styled photo shoot for Bird's Party Magazine - Check out all the details as told by Jennifer...

The printables for this party were inspired by Kate and Will's Royal wedding , but one of my sweet customers from the UK asked me to mod it a bit, and she used the Royal Tea Party printables for a leaving-do instead! I've since received many requests for the same royal designs to be used in other events like birthdays, bridal showers and hen parties, so decided to make the printables a bit more general for other occasion - And now you too can add a touch of British flair to your own party and events! ;) Check out all the adorable details and home-made desserts below!
