Spring's in full bloom, true. But still can't avoid those April showers, so we might as well celebrate them. Because if nothing else, that's when we're more likely to see a pretty rainbow! ;) And who doesn't love rainbows?! The colors are an instant pick me up, and perfect for injecting a little cheer into our seasonal birthdays, baby showers or any other celebration this time of year!
Spring is synonymous with flowers, but also with the humble bumble bee. And it's so heartbreaking to read everywhere that bees are on the verge of extinction :( ( you can read more on this subject here ). But if it's up to us party lovers, bee themed parties and events are here to stay, right?! We ♥ the bumble bees 'round here and this sweet theme is perfect for Spring weddings, showers, luncheons and birthdays of any age!
Last year we had a mimosa bar as part of our Easter brunch ( you can see it here ). It was such a hit with everyone, that this year I'm still going the self-service bar for brunch. But with waffles! The cute bunnies from our traditional Easter Printable Kit are the perfect match for this "Hoppy Easter" styling. I like that's it's not too girly, since my boy wouldn't approve anyways ;)
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Santa Margherita USA . All opinions are 100% mine. The best dinner parties I've ever hosted, or at least the ones I remember most fondly; are the "relaxed" ones where I, the host, get to enjoy every minute of it as much as my guests! So throughout the years, I've tried to hone in on what works and perfect the art of dinner parties by keeping it all as simple as possible. Whether I have days to plan ahead, or for a last-minute get-together. For me, simplicity is the name of the party game when dinner parties are concerned!
With St Patrick's Day around the corner we've been pinning lots of rainbow colored party ideas . And I thought it was the perfect time to re-share one of my fav parties we featured in our last magazine issue ! This charming 'over the rainbow' birthday party has a crafty element to it that will really speak to creative girls and pre-teens!
With St Paddy's Day 'round the corner, I find myself drawn to all things green and gold. And ever since this post last year, I have been itching to get to style a simple green tablescape with pretty shiny accents! Plus, it also gives me an excuse to use my recent metallic tableware acquisitions ;)
American Football is not no longer a sporting event that's celebrated in the US alone. The love of the game and the NFL Super Bowl has taken over the globe, and I'm happy to see so many bars where you can now watch the Super Bowl in London, Paris and all over Europe! So a Super Bowl themed party was really a necessity 'round here. Even, if like me; you're in it just for the food & the beer ;)
There's nothing I love more than a nice weekend brunch. Especially in winter! It just evokes coziness, warmth and comfort to me. I think it may due to the scrumptious food on offer, like my baked eggs or panettone & marmalade tart . Or it might well be due to the lashings of rum hot toddy 's involved... ;)
I know we're all concentrating on Christmas at the moment, but New Year's around the corner too so we've created some easy DIYs party ideas for those that have little ones in tow on New Year's Eve! :)
We love this twist on your traditional New Year's Day celebrations and starting your resolutions off right, with yoga, bubbly and friends! And this New Year, New You Yoga Party has it all - from yoga and a deliciously healthy brunch menu, to glam and glitter New Year’s Day outfits!
This year, I started re-decorating my office and was immersed in a color palette and all matter of pretty, geometric, gold objects since summer. And I just can't get enough of it!! So much so, that I decide to inject a little black and gold, geometric action into my Christmas table decor. As always, there are lots of simple and DIY details that are also easy on your wallet , so anyone can copy the look!
If you follow along on Instagram (yes, you really should) you'd have seen sneak peeks of my studio and office make-overs this summer. I'm nowhere finished yet, but the lounge where I do all my photo shoots is at last painted and a blank canvas waiting to be adorned with party decor each season. And this simple DIY Thanksgiving tablescape is the first to christen the space!! It's quiet appropriately, as I'm super thankful to have this little nook to do my work in. And for that alone, I'm extra giddy to share the photos with your today! :)
