Fall Tips & Trips

The fall season is a time of family festivities, warm beverages, toasty fireplaces and special traditions. Whether you are planning a festive party or adding seasonal decor to your home, I’ve got you covered with my list of fall favorites.

Beverages

When it comes to themed beverages it is important to consider taste, presentation and cost. We have you covered! One easy and inexpensive way to display any bottles or can beverage is with an Ice Bowl made of pumpkins. This easy diy decor requires minimal supplies. Hosting a Halloween event? Spruce up your beverage displays with shrunken Apple heads. And if you are looking for beverage recipes I highly recommend a white pumpkin cocktail or hot toddy, perfect for the fall season.

Decor

In true EncoreEvents90210 style, I love installing decor that embodies elegance. One of my favorite looks for the fall is a white and cream inspired table scape with pumpkins, fresh floral and candles. To achieve this look shop Amazon’s assorted pumpkins.

Food

When it comes to your foods, dress it up! Whether it’s adding a little fun to your monster inspired burger, displaying wild rice in pumpkins or adding a jack-o-lantern face to stuffed bell peppers, small changes make a big difference. You can also transform a salad or snack tray to capture fall and Halloween themes.

For The Kids

There are so many foods and activities to do with the kids this time of the year. One of our favorites is the Skeleton snack board, made of chocolate chips, popcorn., marshmallows and any other tasty snacks. Candy covered apples is another favorite which can be adjusted for any theme. Tapping into the senses of our kiddos, I highly recommend jello cups which are fun and tasty snack. We also recommend the popcorn hands as a diy activity for kids, made with 3 simple items: gloves, candy cord and popcorn.

We hope you enjoyed this share. Wishing you all a safe Fall Season 🍁

Easter Fun & Decor With Encore Events

This year I am excited to share ways to add new and innovative touches to traditional Easter celebratory activities. From activities for children to modern decor, we’ve got you covered!

Elevate any space with simplistic modern decor that speaks volumes. Creating one or two focal point pieces can be a great way to decorate and most importantly it doesn’t have to be expensive. I am so in love with adding green moss rabbits or green moss eggs to any planters you already have at home. Accompany it with small patches of sod as I did to give it a natural rustic feel. I also recommend creating your very own centerpiece by filling a vase with styrofoam decor eggs and faux floral for a touch of spring. 

A specialty drink is the perfect touch for any occasion! Create a delicious cocktail or refreshing spritzer topped with fresh Spring flowers. There are many different drinks online but I recommend the SPARKLING ROSÉ COCKTAIL. Pair it with a Easter themed charcuterie board to please the crowd while dinner is prepared.

Create the most memorable Easter traditions with these fun Easter activities for the kids. Dying eggs are a must! But why not go natural using fruit, vegetables and other herbs as a source of dye. Your kids will be able to participate in this traditional activity while learning about fruits, veggies and how they make dye. And did I mention, it’s all natural!

Another fun and tasty ways to celebrate with the kids is creating pancakes packed with all types of delicious toppings including egg shaped chocolates. Check out Abbey’s Kitchen for a quick and easy recipe to creating these Gluten-free protein pancakes. Another breakfast I absolutely love and recommend is the Chick in Egg Pancakes which includes breakfast eggs with pancakes, it is truly the cutest Easter brunch addition. For a quick and easy snack and activity for the children purchase Target’s Easter Pre-Built Cookie House Kit.

Easter is one of those special occasions that have so much meaning. Growing up with strong religious beliefs, Easter has always been important to me and my family. We celebrate the holiday as a joyous occasion because it represents the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament and the revelation of God's salvific plan for all of humankind. Each year I celebrate with family and friends through special meals and activities.
