Guest Post: Glorious Graduation Party
Jun 10 2015 ·0Today I have a special treat for you ~ a guest post written by my friend and Assistant Extraordinaire, Jen Bowles. Jen recently designed and hosted one of the most creative and colorful graduation parties I’ve ever attended. Her daughter, Ebby, obviously deserved a wonderful party ~ she was Salutatorian of her class and gave an amazing speech at the graduation ceremony. I just love how Jen took a unique and personal theme and built the party around it. Come take a peek…
I guess you could say I enjoy planning parties ;-). For Ebby’s graduation party I knew I didn’t want a typical theme ~ no high school colors (green & white), no paper goods with bright primary colors. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things, I just strive to be more unique and personal when I design a party. So I looked to Ebby for inspiration. Her middle name is Blossom, she loves books, reading, and her job at the library–boom, theme!

The 4th of July: Time to Celebrate…and Decorate!
Jul 03 2012 ·0Happy July 4th! Time to take a break from our routines and celebrate our country and enjoy the summer sunshine. Time to take out the patriotic plates, red, white and blue buntings and American flags. Time to gather with family and friends.
Here are a few ideas to help you jazz up your home and terraces for your 4th of July celebration~
Set the table with stars and stripes.
Go ahead and mix in some seasonal paper goods. There are so many great patterns to choose from and paper plates help make clean-up a breeze.
Don’t forget to add decorations in unexpected places. Even the sculpture in my Foyer “dresses” for the 4th of July!
One of the best parts about a summer holiday is enjoying your outdoor spaces. This time of year my deck is in full bloom ~ and the perfect spot to watch fireworks from afar. I love to accent the fleurs with a small flag…
and a well-placed tiara or two! Isn’t she beautiful?
Don’t forget about crowns for you and your guests as well.
I use my collection year after year, adding to my stockpile when a festive headpieces catches my eye.
Patriotic tiaras make for great photo ops!
At my home, the main event on the 4th is always the fireworks display from Boston decorating the night sky…
The most perfect spot to view fireworks has to be with a reflection on the water, how lovely!
The grandest of finales:
As you can see I must perfect my ability to photograph at night~but believe me, it is stunning!
After a night of patriotic revelry, I always love knowing a fun time was had by all…
Oh beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountains majesties Above the fruited plain.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
As much as I enjoy this fun and festive summer celebration, l do hope you’ll join me in remembering the heroes who help make our freedom possible. I’ll be raising a glass to my dad Marston who served in WW II, 8th Armored Division. Thank you for your service!
Wishing you a happy and safe 4th of July!
