How Does Your Garden Grow

Get inspired by Marcie’s outdoor garden celebration hosted in her very own orchid house. With a bright, airy setting and a delicious homegrown menu featuring her freshly grown lettuce, this outdoor celebration was the perfect way to welcome spring.

“Spring has arrived and what better way to celebrate the warm season than to gather with friends and family in an outdoor celebration. My garden was in full bloom, and I needed to use up the last of my lettuce crop so what a perfect excuse to invite others over to enjoy the fresh air.”

- Marcie

Citrus Celebration

Set your next springtime gathering with a touch of citrus. We gathered for a vibrant Citrus Celebration full of lively spring hues and fresh seasonal ingredients. With days becoming longer this is the perfect celebration to host outside for a casual happy hour or even as a themed bridal luncheon.

When deciding the overall look of our gathering, we chose to focus on the surrounding elements as our guide. From the zest of citrus peels to the warmth of the Florida sun, we found that layering fresh ingredients in an outdoor setting allows for the celebration to truly come together...naturally.

Winning Night of Cards

Gather the family for a little friendly competition and host this game-night inspired gathering that’s perfect for a relaxing evening at home. Join Laura as she gathers her family for one of their favorite weekly pastimes - a casual and cozy night of playing gin and enjoying a comforting meal together.

“Within any week of the year, you’ll typically find at least some of my family gathered around the card table once, if not more! The occasion is typically impromptu and casual with a laid back, but delicious, menu to match so our full focus remains on the game. While the host, attendees, and menu all vary from game to game, I want to help you win at hosting card night, so I'm sharing how I host my own Winning Night of Cards gathering.”

- Laura

Spring Awakening

Set the scene with a Spring Awakening gathering that celebrates the arrival of a new season with a nod to traditional springtime hues and subtle textures. While planning this dreamy springtime soirée, we were inspired by the pastel hues of blush and sage found in common scenes in spring. After scheming the perfect springtime celebration, we landed on a fresh approach to an Easter gathering: A Spring Awakening.

Gather and welcome the warmer days with a celebration set in a season reminiscent of fresh and new. As you plan your Spring Awakening gathering, use your surroundings and set the gathering in a unique location.

Something Blue Bridal Shower

Honor a bride-to-be in your life with a blooming “Something Blue” Bridal Shower full of lush florals and a stunning set tablescape design. We recently celebrated our cousin and niece, Logan with this curated bridal shower a few days before her ceremony. We're thrilled to share the finished look with you as one of our featured curated gatherings in hopes that it inspires you with an entertaining idea, too!

Bonus tip: We even think this would make for the perfect done-for-you idea for a baby shower!

Spontaneous ¡Salud!

Celebrate your next Taco Tuesday (or any night!) and gather for a Spontaneous ¡Salud! evening this spring. This done-for-you gathering will be a family favorite since it’s simple to execute yet has just the right amount of festive touches to make it feel like a special occasion. Host your own Spontaneous ¡Salud! gathering with all the fixings and discover the perfect menu for your next Taco Tuesday dinner or even Cinco de Mayo celebration.

“Since the intent is to be easy to execute and casual, you can let the food speak for itself, but if you wanted to enhance the décor, you could always lean into festive décor pieces like interesting lights, candles, or potted cacti to fit the theme!”

- Courtney
