Every client asks us the same question at some point in the planning process, usually with a slightly worried look. How much alcohol do we actually need? It doesn't matter if we're setting up a full bar at a venue or tucking a bar cart into someone's living room for twenty people. The question is universal, and so is the anxiety behind it.

Let's talk about the unsung hero of any great party, wedding or event. The one that never asks for a toast, never needs a plus-one, and somehow still manages to charm every single guest the moment they walk in the door. We're talking about signage. Signage is the quiet charmer of event design. It doesn't shout. It doesn't need to. It just works. It guides, it informs, it sets the mood, and it usually does all three without anyone consciously noticing.

Some pieces of furniture are workhorses. The Harvest Table is one of them, Rustic enough to feel grounded, elegant enough to anchor a black-tie affair, and versatile enough that we've built everything from backyard birthday parties to tented weddings around it. Change the runner, the chairs, the florals, and it becomes an entirely different room. That's the trick of it: the table never changes, but it never looks the same twice.

There's a particular kind of magic to a great cocktail party — that hum of conversation, the clink of glasses, the sense that everyone in the room would rather be nowhere else. It looks effortless. It never is. Behind every party that feels spontaneous is a host who thought it through, and behind every host who pulls it off without breaking a sweat is usually a plan. Here's how we build one.

As daughters with fabulous moms and as mothers to amazing young adults Mother’s Day is one of our favourite celebrations.

Let's be honest, a charcuterie board is basically edible art direction. Meats fanned just so, cheeses in their prime, a fig strategically placed like it's auditioning for a magazine cover. It's no wonder Instagram and TikTok fell hard for them, spawning a thousand reels and at least as many "char-cutcherie" puns. But here's the twist: this isn't a trend. It's a few hundred years old, and it's just been waiting patiently for its close-up.

If the thought of hosting a wedding shower brings back memories of toilet paper wedding dresses and crustless sandwiches, take a breath. Wedding showers have evolved, and we are here to help you plan one that is stylish, creative, and nothing like the showers of decades past.

These past 14 months have been difficult for everyone, but notably for students. The flip flopping from in-class to online remote learning, to the introduction of quadmesters and small cohorts has been difficult from both an educational and social perspective. Combine that with the cancellation of events like orientation week, homecoming, team sports, school plays and performances, trips, dances, clubs, music and art programs students have lost out on many important experien

Let's talk about the unsung hero of every great party photo: the backdrop. Location, props, and a killer background are what separate "cute photo" from "wait, can you send me that one" photo. For events, a backdrop is your chance to bring theme, colour, and jaw dropping decor together into one show-stopping, camera-ready moment.

What better way to take advantage barefoot-in-the-grass fun and keep things Covid friendly than with backyard lawn games.

Hosting events this summer has been a challenge. COVID-19 has pushed the boundaries and made us adapt to the changing times and new rules

There is a reason nobody ever turns down a donut. Sugared, glazed and gooey, loaded with maple bacon, or just a plain little ring you pop in one bite, donuts are basically edible happiness. And right now, they are stealing the spotlight on dessert tables everywhere. So step aside, sheet cake, there is a new favourite in town.

Every girl has pictured it at least once. The music is playing, her best friends are around her, phones are out capturing every laugh, and for one night she is officially the Queen of Sixteen. It is her party, her people, and her moment to shine.

Some people think candy bars had their moment and moved on. We could not disagree more. Yes, they have been popping up at weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet 16s, and showers for years now, but a good candy bar is not a trend, it is a tiny wonderland. It is decor. It is personality. It is a legitimate excuse to eat a gummy bear at 10pm and call it "research." After years of building candy tables (and yes, extensively taste testing every single one), we have picked up a few tr
