TableScapes: The Special Event Conference

We had a great time at the special event conference last month in New Orleans. This week, we're taking you on a tour through our camera lens. This table design was created by one of the top event professionals in the industry and could be used at a wedding or an intimate dinner at home with friends and family. Make sure to use lower arrangements so guests can see across the table. Tip: A few of the tabletop pieces can be purchased at Z Gallerie, one of our favorite stores!

One of the great things about hosting a Superbowl party is the informality, from the use of evite email invitations to eating and drinking out of paper products. By now, your favorite team gear, whether the Saints or the Colts is likely sold out, so pick up some solid color paper products, black and gold, or blue and white and dress the part. Grab some sporty decor from your local party supply store and serve the food up simple. A few party favorites are chips, dips, wings and plenty to drink and if you have a little extra time, go ahead "WOW" your guests with this fabulous cupcake recipe by Jeanne Benedict.
