Description
A celebration of entertaining at its most imaginative and unapologetically glamorous, this inspiring book invites readers inside twenty unforgettable gatherings created by Gardner, founder of Houses & Parties. Known for her signature blend of style, wit, and whimsical excess, Gardner transforms every occasion — from intimate dinners to lavish weddings — into a theatrical experience filled with surprise and delight.
Across its pages unfolds a world of elegantly offbeat parties and lush tablescapes where ceramic snails hide beneath flower petals, crystal-covered chandelier girls lure guests to the dance floor, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. With a foreword by Sofia Coppola and stunning photography capturing the magic of each event, the book is a visual feast celebrating creativity, humor, and fearless hosting.
From a brass band guiding guests along the Napa Valley Wine Train to a pink-poodle-themed holiday fête overflowing with retro desserts, every chapter bursts with color, personality, and joyful excess. Gardner shares reflections on the art of gathering — the role of the perfect host, the importance of wonder, and why every party needs a little mischief.
Part inspiration, part memoir, and entirely enchanting, this is not a traditional how-to guide — it’s a spirited invitation to entertain boldly, generously, and without hesitation.
