]]>1. It’s okay to keep the decorations simple.
It’s easy to get carried away with decorations for your New Year’s Eve party. You don’t need to go overboard though. Hang a garland on the wall or your bar cart, get a bouquet of balloons, or try reusing some of your holiday decorations such as candles and string lights. You can also add flair through your partyware, like napkins and drink stirrers.
2. Add color for a festive twist.
New Year’s Eve décor is typically gold and silver, but add some color for a festive twist! This can be done through your décor, partyware, bottles, drinks, garnishes, and snacks.
3. Pick a signature champagne cocktail (or two).
Champagne is a must have on New Year’s Eve, so keep plenty of bottles on hand. Make your offering more unique with a variety of liqueurs and garnishes. My favorites liqueurs to add to champagne are Chambord, St. Germain, and Cointreau. As for garnishes, you can’t go wrong with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. And if you want to jazz it up a bit more, try edible flowers, pomegranate arils, rosemary sprigs, citrus peels, or rock candy!
4. Keep it to finger foods.
Create easy to serve, small finger foods to keep the party moving smoothly. Crowd favorites include charcuterie boards, canapés, crudités, caprese skewers, and pigs in a blanket. As for sweet treats, try French macarons, mini cupcakes, petit fours, fruit tartlets, and cookie cups.
5. Have fun props and party favors for guests.
It’s not New Year’s Eve without some fun props and party favors! Everyone will be taking lots of photos, so guests will love having photo booth props and a backdrop. During the countdown, ring in the New Year with bells, noisemakers, party hats, confetti poppers, and party favor crackers.
Cheers and Happy New Year! I wish you all the best!

]]>The main elements of my Easter decor are flowers, candy bowls, nest bowls, and bunny napkins.
For the flowers, I looked for white and pretty pastels. These arrangements include hydrangeas, tulips, anemones, ranunculus, and stocks.
The candy bowls have Cadbury Mini Eggs
For the nest bowls, I found painted eggs (sorry, sold out online), but here’s a good alternative
Lastly, I folded the napkins into bunnies, using a Martha Stewart tutorial I found it on Pinterest. Such a cute touch!
I hope you find this helpful and have a very happy Easter!

First, let’s start with the essentials: beverages, garnishes, and drinkware. You want it to be functional, but not overloaded (it isn’t replacing your liquor cabinet). And let’s be honest, you want it to look stylish (and mobile too, if needed). Just have the ingredients for you and your guests’ favorite beverages. Here is a list of essentials, from which to choose…

Next, add some pretty décor for a personal touch. Much like decorating a mantel or bookcase, I always try to have layers of different colors, heights, and textures. My favorites additions include flowers, books, and candles.
When entertaining, prep ahead as much as possible. The last thing you want is to feel is stressed because you didn’t finish everything on time or have enough time to get ready. Enjoy a quiet moment (and a drink) before guests arrive, and you’ll feel ready to set the tone for a fun event!
If you love the idea of a bar cart, but aren’t a huge drinker, you can always make it a coffee bar or end table.
