Mono Gypsophilia

Now that sounds like a disease, but I promise it’s not. Gypsophilia is just the scientific name for good ole baby’s breath, the sweet little fleur who is in bad need of a publicist.

When used in mass quantities alone as a mono-botanical look, it’s quite powerful and still gloriously inexpensive. Check it out:

Chic, non?

Hors Davorrs

That’s what Dad calls hors d’oeuvres just to drive me criz-azy. He also calls them “hoo-dee-evras” when he’s really trying to get my goat.

Let’s face it- I don’t have a client or a friend who doesn’t agree that hors and cocktails are all you need. I could totally skip the four course fiesta and nosh on tiny bites whilst sipping bubbly.

Below are a few darling one-biters I found recently while designing party menus from scratch:

Taking an early lunch? No judgement here!

Mushroom + Mauve

Gasp, I said it- and I meant it . . . we are deploying mauve (and all of her dusty cousins, like Rose and Orchid) for a winter wedding. Paired with mushroom and hints of gold, the palette is pseudo Victorian and yet totally current.
