A Dancing Branflake Dinner Party Full of Spring

Happy Friday! I am excited to throw a dinner party honoring my favorite season.  Spring, as well as this dinner party, is all about celebrating the beauties of nature.  I hope you enjoy!


The Decor
Celebrate Spring and nature in this beautiful dining room from HouseBeautiful.
Aren't those benches the cutest?



The Menu
is a light and "Springy" array from Gourmet.com.
Find the recipes here and here.  Enjoy!


What I'm Wearing
A colorful springtime dress from Anthropologie takes center stage 
as neutral accessories from nature adorn.




The Favor
Guests will leave with a pot of their favorite plant from Linens-n-Things so they can enjoy the beauties of Spring well after the party has ended.


Why do you love Spring?

It all looks like such a lively affair! :) Definitely suits springtime. It's raining down here in So. Cal...but I'm hoping that after it passes, it will be all sunshine and flowers :) I just love the warmer weather and longer days...I love being able to be out and enjoying the weather and nature...:)

Yes, I would love, love, love this party!! It would just brighten up my dreary days. Spring in Pullman is like living under a mudcloud.

I might have just had a drool/keyboard incident-that menu looks HEAVENLY! John and I made grilled cheeses on rosemary bread with cheddar, ham and apple last night, and I kept thinking, "We need to start serving yummy sandwiches at dinner parties!"

drollgirl said...

omg! that food looks incredible!!! actually, everything in this post looks fantastic!

spring is fab. rebirth, regrowth, renewal, sunshine, rain -- all the good stuff. except the allergies that come along with it. lol. and the weeds. ahahhahahah!!! a friend of mine converted her entire front yard (which is HUGE) to a garden, and she is losing her mind because of all of the rain we have been getting. apparently rain leads to LOTS OF WEEDS. lol

anywhoo! sorry for babbling! and your comment made me laugh! i can't stand tom cruise! can't stand him!

this free bird said...

i'm still stuck back at the food. i need it all. damn this 30 day shred!!

xo,

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

Now I'm hungry! Looks like a great party.

A "cheery" disposition said...

amazing idea! seriously, can i come???

Hollie said...

I'm pretty sure that I leave the same comment on each of your dinner posts.. so I'll refrain from saying how much I really need to come to one of yours! :]

Maggy said...

Ahhh this is such a lovely idea, I love it, I hope you feel like a gorgeous hostess!

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

You really build the perfect dinner party for this room, yet again. That makes me think of a possible project.

We need to talk.

Kristin said...

That menu sounds simply heavenly!

Audrey Allure said...

The decor looks so beautiful & clean; love it! I love spring for the sunshine but cool enough for a cardigan :)

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

I want to come!!! Love the table with the benches indoors. Bringing some of the outside in. Perfect for spring when it can be a little bit chilly sometimes :)

Have a great weekend, sweetie! xoxo

karen said...

i love spring because the days get longer and warmer.

OneCraftyFox said...

Oh my goodness, I am sooooo coming to your spring party!! My fav thing about spring is stretching my bare legs in the first rays of sunlight, smelling the trees and rain in the air, and of course shopping for adorable pastel accessories.

Hope you have a cheerful weekend filled with lots of sunshine!! xoxo

Heart Charlie said...

Wow- I absolutely love everything Anthropologie. Can't go wrong! I wish there was a store in my town... but that'd probably be bad news for my bank account...!
