Hostess With The Mostess

I love hosting parties, gatherings, dinner parties, etc. These moments allow me to be creative with various themes, textiles, textures, flavors, aromas and so much more. My favorite part of the planning is selecting a theme, choosing items to put on the menu whether its a full course meal or light hors d'oeurves (finger foods). Also, selecting a color scheme, dining ware, and centerpiece arrangements. Taking everyday popular foods and adding a twist to them will be a great conversation piece. This also allows or introduces others to taste their favorite dishes differently, takes your palates on experience it will always remember. For me, the ambiance and menu is the most important part of the planning. If the mood is set, with some delicious food to indulge in your party will be a success. Since dessert tables and High Tea themes are very popular, I have a few of my favorites ideas to inspire your next party.

Spring/Summer dining setting with floral arrangements and bright Spring Colors.

Blue is a popular color for Spring/Summer decor. The blue set a calming and pleasant mood. Many say it makes them feel like they are near an ocean.

Simple Summer/Spring centerpiece. Click a few assorted flowers and place them in a bowl of water with votive candles. I like to use a clear bowl. The aroma once the flowers sit in the water is amgzing.

When serving tea do some research on tea based off the menu being served. It is very important to have tea the compliments the flavors of food provided.
