Fall into Fall

It’s that time of year. The kids have gone back to school. Time to pack up the pool toys and time to break out the fall decor. Fall is my favorite season. Maybe it’s because of the slight touch of fall in the air that breathes new life. Or maybe it’s the pep rally feeling before the big game.…a la HOLIDAY SEASON!!! Sep­tember is the per­fect month to get your tailgate/​holiday enter­taining game plan final­ized. There is no one better to help with that game plan, than the fab­u­lous David Stark. He’s like the Tim Burton of event design! David’s book, The Art of the Party is a fab­u­lous book to use for enter­taining ideas and to help jump start your hol­iday season.

The Art of the Party reveals whim­sical, artistic, unex­pected designs often cre­ated from sus­tain­able, indus­trial, or low-​​cost mate­rials to inspire readers—whether plan­ning a wed­ding, dinner party, or hol­iday gathering—looking for ideas for their own events.

Twenty-​​five of David Stark’s events (pri­vate cel­e­bra­tions and charity galas) are fea­tured in this book. David show­cases how he devel­oped the inspi­ra­tion for the  theme, color palette, details, all which truly make an event memorable.

From the New York Met­ro­pol­itan Opera opening gala to Target’s large-​​scale char­i­table events and pop-​​up shops, David Stark’s inim­itable influ­ence is sweeping the design world—and thanks to his books, becoming more acces­sible for his legions of fans.

No matter the event, The Art of the Party is sure to inspire cre­ativity and become an essen­tial resource for years to come.
