FIVE (doable) Fall Parties

With Halloween coming up, I feel like we're entering the time of year when the social calendar starts filling up and people love to host and attend parties.  There are so many fun fall party ideas, but a few of my favorite "doable" parties are below...

FEED Supper

I've been seeing a few things lately about Feed's newest fundraising project, FEED Supper, and I think it's a really amazing idea!  The idea is simple.  Invite friends to join around the supper table to enjoy a meal together and raise money for children and families around the world.  100 Layer Cake just featured this party highlighting the FEED Supper initiative, and this party is stunning.  So many pretty details.  Love the red goblets, the string lights, gold flatware, and the cursive name plates too.

Perfect Parties | Bastille Day

 

So Tara Guerard's Bastille Day Party that was just featured in Lonny definitely goes on the list of parties of my dreams.  Perfect Charleston garden location, adorable little baguettes at every place settings, celebratory sparklers at send off, and delicious looking cocktails.  Seriously, if you didn't see it, it was absolutely stunning.

A Vogue 50th Birthday Bash

Last Friday, I linked to this beautiful table setting from Vogue's Instagram feed.  I absolutely love that beautiful table setting, but really the entire party is worth seeing.  It looks like the party was a 50th birthday party in full Great Gatsby theme.  I really wish someone I'm friends with would have a similar party pronto!  I love that the party is obviously very elegant and polished, but when you look closely at the table, the details don't look very serious.  The table setting looks playful and the evening even included a cream puff birthday cake!

Check out Vogue's Instagram account to see more details and all of the guests' beautiful Gatsby attire.

Easter Inspiration: Rip+Tan



I love the blog Simple Lovely.  Joslyn's aesthetic is different from mine, but I really love her taste.  She recently turned me on to the new to me blog Rip + Tan and I have LOVED pouring through it.  These gorgeous Easter Baskets and this beautiful Easter Brunch have me wishing I had planned a beautiful table setting and meal to celebrate Easter this Sunday.  I'll bookmark these for next year!
