What to Wear to an Oscar Party

February 25, 2014

Last week we shared tabletop and decor ideas for hosting an Oscar Party; 
this week we’re sharing two style boards on what to wear to an Oscar Party.
We styled our boards with cocktail dresses – a practical alternative to gowns!
First up, just like our party palette, we stuck with Black and Gold but explored different textures.

Secondly, we were inspired by Jewel Tones – a perfect match for our party palette and stylish, too!

Lastly, we’ll leave you with our favorite looks from last year’s Academy Awards – 
watching the Red Carpet is the best, isn’t it?

And the Oscar goes to… Inspirations for hosting an Oscar Party!

February 21, 2014

The 86th annual Academy Awards are coming up soon – (on March 2nd, to be exact!) and you know we Soirée girls love a good excuse to put the pedal to the metal when it comes to glitz and glam!
 
We’ve been inspired by glitz that is the Academy Awards with ideas to get your inspired to throw your own Oscar soirée! Also, next week we’ll be sharing our “What to Wear to an Oscar Party” style board so be sure to be on the look out for that!
 
First, let’s talk about invitations! Paperless Post has a lovely Awards Show/Viewing Party line  – get them printed or send e-vites, your choice! Here are our 3 top faves:

 

 

 

We’re noticing a hint of Gatsby in their cards, aren’t you?

That brings me to decor! Gold is such a perfect color for the Academy Awards, plus it scales things up a bit. Here are some ideas for your tabletop and decor!

Tabletop ideas
And what about the food you say?
Well here’s what we’d make:
Salmon Caviar Sushi Bites via Food & Wine
Butternut Squash Crostini via Food Network
Scallops with Potato Pancake and Caviar Sauce via Food & Wine
Every good party needs a little “swag”(read: a fun little prezzie for guests to take home) and what could be more perfect than these guys?

 

Via Etsy
Oscars.org has some suggestions for what to serve; as well as a few games to play – free printable Oscar Bingo and Oscar Ballots.
 
Want to go even further with your party? Set up your own “Red Carpet” with a photo booth! Click here for a tutorial on how to make your own!
 
And, as always, head on over to our Oscar Party Inspiration Pinterest board for all the links to the items you see here plus even more ideas!
 
Enjoy!

What’s Your Style? – Bridesmaid’s Dresses

February 18, 2014

Happy Tuesday everyone.  We hope you enjoyed the long holiday weekend (and all the snow we’ve been getting here on the east coast)!  We’re in the busy season of proposal writing so we thought we’d bring up a topic that comes up at the beginning of every design meeting.  Believe it or not, the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses can often help develop the overall look and style of your big day.  
We often have clients who come to us after first getting engaged to talk about the big picture and what ‘homework’ they should be doing to start creating the look and feel for their big day.  So many couples tell us they “know exactly what their colors are going to be” and my response is “Do you have your bridesmaid’s dresses picked?”  So many times, as clients do start the hunt for the perfect ‘maids dresses, they often change their mind.  There are a hundred shades of ‘navy blue’ and that color means something different to everyone.  It’s really the same thing with any color.  This year in particular, we are seeing a lot of coral bridesmaid dresses (something we also saw a lot of in 2013) and a lot of neutrals in a look developed more by separates than by a traditional bridesmaid line.  
We compiled some of our favorite looks to help get you thinking about the overall style for your day.
Also, be sure to refer back to our first post about Bridesmaid Style back in August.

Happy shopping!
