Serve simple but delicious foods...
in artful and unique ways.
Serve ordinary drinks in pretty stemware
garnered from thrift shops and estate sales...
(they needn't match)...
and garnish them with extraordinary, yet simple,touches...
(such as the pomegranate seeds above).
Illuminate your party using simple,
encased votive or tea-lite candles set inside plain drinking glasses.
Let Nature be your florist...
gather pine cones and evergreens from your garden...
greens such as cedar, rosemary, pine and boxwood add
fresh and festive embellishments...
(at little or no cost).
