Need a reason to turn an occasion into a celebration? Throw a Paella Party in your backyard. Paella is the national dish of Spain and is a staple party dish throught the country. Three widely known types of this saffron scented short grained rice dish are Valencian Paella, Seafood Paella, and Mixed Paella. The joy in a Paella Party is that you can throw one with little more than a big fire, big pan and a big group of friends to eat this delectible dish. If you are looking for a casual event atmosphere, like an Oyster Roast, give a Paella Party a try! Check out this recipe for paella and fun @ Joy is Cooking, one of our favorite foodie blogs.

It’s such a surprise to look back at old event pictures and see how the trends have changed. In the last 30 years Duvall has had some major face lifts. We continue to serve traditional fruits, cheese and vegetables but our presentation styles have vastly changed. What used to be trendy like fluffy greenery and elevation, today is transformed with chic, modern and simple arrangements.

Find # 2
Like most brides, finding what I was going to be wearing was on the top of my list. Although the first thing I picked out wasn’t my dress, it was my veil. Well, it’s not actually a veil…it’s a custom peacock inspired hair clip made by the fabulous Loboheme, who crafts one-of-kind hair clips. If you look closely you’ll see about 2 inches of vintage Russian netting, hence, why I call in my “veil”. So try something different then a traditional long white veil on your wedding day! Until next week…

We’re using my favorite colors, grey & teal, Dallas’s favorite dessert Oreos for our cake, and having our reception at my parent’s house to make our wedding day personal! It’s all about making it yours. One of my favorite design elements is fabric. Check out Amy Butler’s fun designs. I’m using her “Bright Buds- Grey” fabric to create a table runner for our dessert display. Our pastry chef, Richard aka Chip, is hand making Oreos, truffles, and mini sweets for a killer dessert spread on my mom’s dining room table.
Keep checking back!
