  • Jocelyn Throws a Baby Shower

    It's not every day that you get to throw a party for your first niece and sister-in-law, so Jocelyn jumped at the opportunity to host a baby shower at her NYC loft in their honor.  The mother to be's favorite hobby is gardening, so guests left with handmade party favors of glitter covered mason jars filled with paper white bulbs.

    The nursery is decorated in pink, blue and white, so those same colors were used as inspiration throughout the party. 

    The mother to be's favorite treats are macaroons.  They made for a very colorful dessert cart display. 

    Guests enjoyed cake pops from the famous New York Cake Pops and sipped on champagne and non-alcoholic beverages such as Pink Grapefruit GuS (Grownup Soda) from striped straws in theme colors from etsy.

    Floral decorations included pink and white orchids, cherry blossom branches, hydrangeas and these blooming paper whites.  The guests enjoyed seeing what their party favors would soon become. 

    Every baby shower needs a fun game... Jocelyn collected baby pictures from lots of relatives of the guest of honor and her husband.  Guests had to match the photos with the relatives... including a fake baby photo made out of pictures of the mom and dad to be.  

    A Knotted Rope Bowl made the perfect silverware holder for the buffet table.

    The best part of the afternoon was, of course, spending time with the Mom-to-be and other close friends and family.  Jocelyn is pictured on the far left, wearing her favorite Lele Sadoughi Vessel Earrings and her go-to Raina belt.

  • A Simple Holiday Arrangement for Your Next Fete

    We've had lots of requests to write a post about our festive red, white and green flower arrangement from our Winter Lookbook.  Jocelyn is a huge fan of this arrangement for this time of year and often throws it together to add a splash of color to last minute fetes. 

    For this particular arrangement, you need to pick up a bag of Ocean Spray cranberries from the local grocery store and a variety of flowers from the bodega or flower store, including red Huckleberry Branches, white stock flowers, green trachelium and some green hydrangeas.  For the centerpiece, you will need a large clear vase.  First, add water followed by the cranberries.  Add as many cranberries as you think appropriate for your vase.  Next, cut the stock flowers so they are about 75% the height of the branches and then cut the green trachelium so they are 75% the height of the stock flowers.  Finally, add the Huckleberry branches to the vase and then intersperse the green trachelium and stock flowers amongst the branches.  

    Since we were doing the photo shoot with a large kitchen island in the foreground we also filled our knot rope bowl with red and green apples and our coil rope vase with green hydrangeas to fill out the centerpiece.  In the spring this arrangement looks lovely with cherry blossoms in place of Huckleberry branches and limes in place of cranberries.  Email us your festive holiday arrangements at stayclassy@tnuck.com
