This was a Kentucky Bourbon party shot by Tory Williams. 

This was an autumnal themed dinner party for 20 guests held in a refurbished barn in the Catskill mountains in upstate NY. We served soup out of individual carved pumpkins, beef stew & brussels sprouts on the vine. Gold pumpkins, indian corn & pomegranates made up the cornucopia center piece & falling autumn leaves hung from the rafters. The night ended with guests huddled around the campfire, drinking whiskey & telling of days long past. Photos were taken by Divine Light Photography. 

This was a bridal shower with an Indian theme. The bride to be spent time living in India so we curated an afternoon with plenty of Indian color and flavor. Each guest received a unique flower crown & bindi bead and they feasted in the lounge for cocktail hour and appetizers followed by a formal sit down dinner. Photos taken by Justine di Fede.

This was a casual rehearsal dinner Mexican fiesta at a winery in the Napa Valley. Because the wedding was more formal, my clients wanted a festive & fun evening. We hired a Mariachi band, set up lawn games & really played up the bright colors that are so prominent in Mexican culture. Red & White wine sangria were served with taco's from a taco truck.

This was a super fun bachelorette party called a Reverse Trousseau. Instead of doing the same old cheezy theme, we put a twist on the lingerie element. We set up a champagne bar for a group of girls and the bride to be in a lingerie store after-hours. The ladies spent the evening sipping champagne, getting manicures and trying on lingerie.

This was a 70th birthday 'hat' theme party. Guests were asked to wear a hat or headpiece. The result was hilarious. We had an elaborate spread of rustic ham, cheese, cured meats & exotic liqueurs. This event was held in the Napa Valley. Photos were taken by me. 

This was a formal engagement party with a twist of humor. Despite being held at The Harvard Club of NYC, the clients didn't want it too feel too stuffy so we asked guests to wear bow ties, hired a rag time duo to play the piano simultaneously & handed out stick-on moustaches for guests to wear. The perfect combination of formal & fun. Photos by Ivana Goldstein.

This was a fun, light-hearted birthday luncheon celebration at a private home in the Napa Valley. The 'tent' was made of Guatemalan ribbons to create an enclosed feeling. Colorful lanterns were hung to liven up what could other wise have been just another garden party. Photos were taken by a guest.

This was a bachelorette/bridal shower party in the form of a secret supper club in NYC. The theme was Lady Margaret, a heroine famous for her avant garde strength & power & grace. A group of women were asked to meet in Union Square, NYC where they were picked up and transported to a secret location. Greeted with a glass of champagne, they followed a candle lit path up the stairs into a private loft which was theirs for the evening. They were served dinner from a customized menu with 4 courses and 2 personal chefs. Post dinner, they played innovative games in the lounge area and spent the evening drinking too much wine & laughing too hard- everything a good party should entail... This kind of party can be customized for any celebration. The flowers were a collaboration with BOC Creative & the photos were taken by Tory Williams.

This was a sweet little brunch I threw for a last minute client in her backyard in Brooklyn. What I loved so much about this is that we simply used decor I had in my personal inventory together with my client's personal belongings and threw it all together. I love it when clients want to incorporate person elements from their home into the decor. These are secretly my favorite kind of events because they're very personal, very real & have a home-grown feel. Its these types of events that are really just about coming together & entertaining at home on a simple, yet lovely level.
