Discover the art of effortless entertaining with 16 seasonal parties made simple, stylish, and soulful, complete with recipes and decor tips.
From interior designer and style maven Lorna Gross, “Entertaining by Design” is a collection of accessible parties, organized by season, from a small dinner to post-Christmas breakfast celebration. Each party is designed to be instructional, inspirational, and doable for anyone by using tableware and decorations you may already have along with carefully chosen decorative items like place cards or serving platters that can cost as little or as much as your budget allows. Each party includes suggestions for the best way to invite your guests (sometimes that's only a well thought out email), type of tableware, music suggestions to set the mood and the color scheme to tie everything together. Lorna has shared a few of her favorite recipes that are easy to make, delicious, and certain to get the party started. In a world where we're constantly busy, it's easy to think there is not time to plan a party, but Lorna proves that with her simple instructions, streamlined tips, and a little planning, any of these gatherings can be accomplished whether you think you don't know how to throw a party or you just don't think you have the time. Gorgeous photos throughout encourage readers by showing how easy it can all be.
