Outstanding In The Field

One of my favorite shows on television is Moveable Feast on PBS, every single time it's on I think I mention to my husband, I want to get to be one of the guests to this show. I love the concept of traveling to different parts of the country and experiencing the cuisine and setting of the featured place. So when I saw a friend post on Instagram about Outstanding In The Field I knew it was something that would be right up my ally. This very cool company travels the world setting up unique dining experience in remarkable environments. I mean just take a look for yourself at their dreamy Instagram featuring all the places they host their dinner parties in. It truly looks like a once in a lifetime kind of experience. All the food is locally sourced, farm to table and served family style at a long table in farms, mountaintops, museums and beaches all across the world. A list of all the places they are this year can be found here. Now we just have to decide which city to attend!

Fun Favors

One of my favorite elements of party planning has to be putting together a little keepsake for the guests to bring home at the end of the evening. So last night when we celebrated my dear friend Kate's birthday last at a new to me Boston eatery I was quick to offer my assistance with creating a little treat for everyone. Since we were dining on Italian cuisine I went with that as our theme. I decided to make homemade limoncello and adorn the mini bottles with the phrase "salute" instead of cheers. The limoncello was made from this recipe but instead of using plain simple syrup I used the juice of the many lemons I had peeled and created a lemon simple syrup to give it a richer and sweeter lemon flavor. The results were pretty delicious and strong but something I would definitely make again!

Other examples of favors I have created are here, here, here & here.

frayed

I first fell in love with the fringed look when I laid eyes on the beautiful creations made by Confetti Systems and Geronimo Balloons. However their price points can be a bit high for party decor, which is why I was thrilled to stumble upon the queen of DIY, inspiration for all things fringed and frayed in stylish party decor. Everything from balloon tassels, backdrops, cake toppers, bouquets and more, there are numerous options to use this shredded tissue in chic ways.

Are you as obsessed with this look as I am??? 

This cake is insanely gorgeous.

 

A natural looking wrap for your bouquet would be perfect for a garden wedding.

I love photo-booths, this neutral backdrop is simple yet stunning.

You know I love me some cocktail adornments. Love.

Escort card display is simple yet elegant and the tissue colors can be coordinated to match your soirees color palette. 

Package your favorite treats with these amazing favor boxes. They are perfection. 

A playful invitation suite that can be used for any occasion, especially perfect for new years!

While I am completely smitten with this twiggy design I still prefer fresh flowers as a centerpiece  I would instead use this for a dessert or gift table. 

A very unique way to fold your napkin and give your table setting an extra pop of color.
