Seasonal Summer Sippers

The idyllic weather and upbeat energy of Spring makes this the perfect season to plan and host easy daytime get-togethers for your family and friends. It is always a treat to throw a big bash for Easter —  but, don’t limit yourself to just one grand event. I love to invite the crew over on a few Spring Sundays purely to celebrate life, catch up and enjoy each others company!

 

My hostessing style is simplistic and casual. I like parties to feel effortless and organic. My secret for making casual parties extra special is to focus on a couple of interesting details. This could mean decorating a pool party with big bunches of colorful balloons or creating an extravagant dessert table with tiered platters of awe-inspiring petit fours. For Springtime day parties I like to put my energy into creating special seasonal drinks. The seasonal fruit in the fabulous drinks below makes them gorgeous to look at and a treat to enjoy. These drinks are the perfect little touch to transform your backyard barbecue into a special event. Happy hostessing!
