 When it came to designing a Christmas party for the holiday issue of The Party Dress magazine, I decided that I wanted to put a chic, girly spin to it with a festive color palette of pink, red and green. I also wanted to provide you with ideas that could be used for either an adult [...]

When it comes to throwing a fabulous baby shower, I prefer to focus on entertaining the mom-to-be, not the baby. Let’s face it, it’s a rough nine months….she deserves a party! So let the gifts be directed towards the baby, but cater the party details to a more mature audience!
I wanted to put an updated spin [...]

I always know that when our contributor, Beth Beattie, signs on to do a party for the magazine, that I will be elated with what she comes up with. I was so obsessed with her “Coastal Christmas” submission to last year’s Holiday Table Challenge, that I asked her to do another one for the holiday magazine. [...]
