1. On-Trend Invitations. 70's Chic! Start with a striking + fabulous invitation. Something that will capture the entire essence of your party. Something bold, beautiful and it never hurts to be on-trend. We love this ikat tribal pattern. It's fun, breezy and screams spring! See more here.

2. Exotic Fare Keep it fun, funky + fresh! Spring is all about fresh taste, take advantage of what's in season -- everything tastes better with a kick. Let your menu transport your guests someplace exotic, but keep it simple. Something flavor fun + fun. Get your guests involved and interested in what you're serving -- it'll be a great way to start conversations and make your event even more memorable. Our menu was created by the fabulous Molly Herrmann of Tastebud -- a chef we deeply admire for her talent with simple + enticing menus. 

Our Menu :: 

Whole Salt Roasted Fish with Mini Corn Tortillas + Harissa

Smoked Paprika Goat Cheese + House Crackers

Crudites with Vodka + Sea Salts

Bruleed Bananas

 3. Drinks with a HUE! No menu is complete without a fabulous cocktail! For a spring party, choose something that POPS with color, like this succulent Sangria. Your fete should never be short on color or drinks :)

4. Bright + Bold Decor Vivacious decorations. Take your guests on a journey for every sense. Engage their eyes with bold decor that channels the easy, breezy feeling of spring. We loved the whismy, yet bold statement, of the garland added to our backyard gathering. {check out the Tassel Garland - Multi Color product here}.

5. Details with Flavor Keep up with what's in season + skip flowers this time. Keep it simple + fresh! Take the left over herbs and spices you bought fresh to make your fabulous menu and garnish platters, dishes, or make a stunning centerpiece. Just sprinkle + voila, you'll add texture and spice to your table in no time!
