A HOLIDAY GARDEN PARTY!

Thought I should do this post before the holidays finish off and this theme becomes obsolete for another year.

A few weeks back, I went to a fab party at friend Charlotte Broussard’s Venice Beach home. The party was absolutely gorgeous…impeccably done. Charlotte thought of every detail to make this party chic, elegant and fun!

The occasion was simply “Holiday Cocktails”…that was enough information entice the 30 or more guests to celebrate the holidays along with Charlotte at her wonderfully cozy home!

Before the guest arrived (and a little after), I managed to snap a few photos here and there! Hope you enjoy.

Adirondack chairs with pillows upholstered in a fab pink, orange and yellow Trina Turk fabric called “Pisces”…and a few faux bamboo folding chairs surround the outdoor firepit…the perfect place to warm up while being social. (above)

Food catered by Joan's on Third at a holiday party in Venice Beach, CA
The food was beautifully arranged on several tables throughout the party. In this area, the party’s hostess had a little help as it was catered by posh local area caterer Joan’s on Third – a caterer my sister and I have used a million times for parties of the last 1o years…we love Joan’s…and I always recommend it as the solution to making a party perfect. (above and below)

Happy Christmas Eve…!

    I’m so glad you got this in before the holidays are over because I thoroughly enjoyed this post. I’m in love with Venice Beach anyway and plan to live there in my next life! In the meantime, my college boy lives close by and I get to visit.
    What a party! Love the firepit, the gravel courtyard, all the food and how it is displayed. Wish I could have been there! Happy Christmas Eve! –Delores

    Oh how I miss California living! Which makes me miss the good times that I had with my old co-workers at Along Came Mary Productions, too.

    I’ve stopped by your blog before and I’m a fan! I listed you on a Top Design Blog post that I wrote a while back.

    Your holiday garden party is one to envy. Especially when I look outside at our rainy Christmas day that we’re having here in Michigan.

    I’d trade locations with you in a moments notice! We’re being told to prepare. The temperature is to reportedly drop, making the rain glaze over, turning everything into a big ice sculpture, before we get our next snowfall. Such is life in the Mid-West.

    Merry Christmas Coco! And in 2010, may you get ANYTHING that you had or wanted, and lost, back again!

I always adore Italian architecture. The estate features stone marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and antique painting. So dreamy! Learn more about Villa Tasca on my blog.
