what really matters
Although the seasons mark the passing of time, they can also serve as a reminder to take pause and acknowledge some of life's important milestones. When we make the time to celebrate with family and friends, we create memories that add to the fabric of our life story.
Designing a setting that reflects your individual style sets the tone for the gathering and creates a sense of belonging for your guests. It doesn't have to be complicated or overdone; I feel the "less is more" approach allows for greater emphasis on why you're having a celebration in the first place... to spend quality time with the people who matter most.
Consider using or re-configuring existing indoor or outdoor space at your home... it works wonderfully for an intimate occasion, creates a more relaxed atmosphere, and everyone will feel more connected to you.
Planning events in unique spaces or locations is also a great way to express your individuality while lending a distinct feel to the event... converted barns, meadows, vineyards, and orchards are just some of the possibilities.
I believe that style and sustainability can go hand-in-hand so choose to align with businesses, products, and practices that help to preserve our fragile environment. Whenever possible I prefer to incorporate menu/decor items that are grown or carefully crafted by farmers and artisans who put their heart and soul into the creation of their products while considering the impact on future generations.
