Inspirational ideas for throwing the perfect party from L.A.
interior designer and party planner Joe Nye.
Clients and friends
turn to Joe Nye for his advice on gracious living, in particular how to
create a smashing get-together. Flair covers three aspects of
party planning that can make an event shine—flowers, paper
components, and the table setting. In each section, Nye gives
inspirational ideas and tips on how to make the most of these decorative
elements for any type of occasion. Beautiful photographs of several
diverse settings—a breezy beach cocktail gathering, a casual red,
white, and blue patriotic sit-down, a pastel-hued ladies’
luncheon, and an elegant black-and-white supper—show how to
achieve winning possibilities that can be pulled off with ease. Nye
always throws in fun, unexpected elements, such as serving soup in
antique finger bowls from the flea market and personal accents that make
for a truly memorable event. The book covers topics such as when to use
paper napkins, how to make flowers last longer, and host/hostess
etiquette. A shopping resource completes this charming guide for those
who relish the joy of entertaining.
