Spring/Summer Edition 2023
​
When choosing a color palette for your table settings, I love adding brighter hues. I used a palette of orange, blues and a touch of green to bring the vibrancy of Summer to our table. Colorful glasses and coordinating cloth napkins add a extra touch. Fresh colorful flowers lined the table to make the simplest dinner feel special.

Favorite Moment When Hosting...
Pouring my first glass of champagne while waiting for my guests to arrive is my calm moment before the event begins. All your hard work has paid off and we are now ready to have a great time! Being Calm when hosing is the “Magic Key”. I do like to share a few finishing touches while guests are there to make them apart of the experience, which also showcases
your skills. Making this thang look easy... lol
