Hors Davorrs

by Calder Clark on July 30th, 2010

That’s what Dad calls hors d’oeuvres just to drive me criz-azy. He also calls them “hoo-dee-evras” when he’s really trying to get my goat.

Let’s face it- I don’t have a client or a friend who doesn’t agree that hors and cocktails are all you need. I could totally skip the four course fiesta and nosh on tiny bites whilst sipping bubbly.

Below are a few darling one-biters I found recently while designing party menus from scratch:

Taking an early lunch? No judgement here!

Mushroom + Mauve

by Calder Clark on July 26th, 2010

Gasp, I said it- and I meant it . . . we are deploying mauve (and all of her dusty cousins, like Rose and Orchid) for a winter wedding. Paired with mushroom and hints of gold, the palette is pseudo Victorian and yet totally current.
