Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner! Our missoni-like print invitation from WH Hostess (re-colored in hot, fiesta colors) is the perfect invitation for a Cinco de Mayo dinner party or cocktail gathering with friends.

Chris Nease from Celebrations at Home sent me this darling “modern safari” party she styled for her monthly ladies night. It’s full of amazing DIY ideas that could be used for a bridal shower or birthday party.
Her inspiration came from the hot pink zebra striped cocktail napkins, and was reinforced after seeing Amy Atlas’ pink & orange [...]

Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to invite a few friends over for a dinner party inspired by nature and your local farmer’s market. Bring the outdoors inside by creating a table setting full of white dishes and natural elements, such as bark and potted plants. I love the idea of using coasters of [...]

They inserted gerber daisies into a pot of grass, but you could easily take the same concept and simplify it for your next table setting.

These late winter months always have me at a bit of a loss when it comes to setting a pretty table for a dinner party. I mean, what I am really craving are bold, Spring colors, fresh flowers, and light dishes. But when there is 10 inches of snow on the ground….that [...]

It’s true. Flowers really do dress up everything. Use this idea for Valentine’s Day or just as a simple way to dress up your dinner table. Instead of putting the flower inside the vase, tie it to the outside of a votive candle, or a vase full of candy hearts for Valentine’s Day. The result will [...]
