I could eat Mexican food every day, and with Cinco de Mayo approaching gives me the perfect excuse to gorge myself on my fave fiesta recipes ;) You may remember the kiddies Pinata Party we styled a few years back? Well, this year I really wanted a more grown up vibe for our fiesta, complete with a Mojito Bar, which I'll share later in the week!
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 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 ;)
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... ;)
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! :)
If you follow me on Instagram , you'd have been sneak peeks of my summer studio and office makeover. Yeah, I basically spent a good chunk of my summer with a paintbrush in hand...and although it's far from finished, I'm celebrating each little 'victory' and taking pleasure in seeing some areas come to life - like my studio bar!
POP is what I "hear" when I see the vibrant colors in this tablescape. So Color Pop is what I'm calling this table style. Hope you enjoy the pom-tastic ideas and feel inspired to re-create for Mother's Day...or any fun occasion or party. It's pretty easy to pull off, and totally fuss-free! What's not to love?!
Whether you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, or are just looking for some Mexican fun and flair for your next fiesta, themed wedding or shower...these stunning tablescape ideas show us how to work a mishmash of vibrant colors into your party styling, without making it look garish. No shabby here, just chic! ;)
Easter for us is brunch. It's a tradition. Whether we have guests over or not. And for me, brunch is all about relaxed entertaining . Taking time to enjoy those around the table, and just be be present, together on this special period of the year.
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!
