Last week you got the deets on all of the yummy food from the first ever Satsuma Supper Club, and this week I am so excited to share with you all of the DIY décor from the party! Who says that dinner parties have to be costly? We sure don't!

Carol and I wanted to ensure that everything we used for the party would be super easy for you at home to recreate and also be cost effective so that anyone can host a fabulous supper club!

We decided to go with disposable plates, napkins, utensils, glasses, and tablecloths (easy clean up...hello). The task was to make them still feel special, so we added a touch of hand to each and voila...they were transformed into something really beautiful!

On top of that, we added easy handmade garland, lots of flowers, and details like tiny toothpick flags that said things like "yum" and "pick me".

I am going to share with you the how-to's for the champagne glasses, toothpick flags, and napkins here so make sure you head over to Carol's blog to get the how-to's for the garland, tablecloth, and plates!

Whether you are throwing a dinner party and making breakfast the main event or you are just wanting to cook for yourself and your peeps an amazing brunch, these recipes from the first Satsuma Supper Club, Brinner, are perfect! I am so excited to finally get to share them with you!

As I mentioned before, I was responsible for cocktails and the savory, while Carol handled all things sweet. So make sure that you head over to Carol's blog to check out the sweet goodness...literally. It was a great mix of salty and sweet and there was really something for everyone. And of course there was a refreshing bubbly cocktail to help wash it all down.

First let's talk frittatas. Who doesn't love a good egg for breakfast? It is sort of a staple right? Well what I love about frittatas is that they can be made in advance and can feed a crowd and it's really easy on the cook. So for Brinner I decided to go with one veggie frittata and one that had some meat.

Here's the scoop:

Satsuma Supper Club Begins...well began...it happened, and it was great!

Last Saturday Carol and I hosted the first Satsuma Supper Club! It was the best night full of delicious yumminess! A take on breakfast for dinner, Brinner to be exact, we took breakfast to a whole new level throwing a little fancy in the mix. Sounds intriguing right?

We invited some ladies to join us in the festivities and everyone was told to "dress to impress." The evening was full of gold shimmers, grapefruit hues, plenty of good bubbly, and pretty dresses. We made everything ourselves including the décor and can't wait to share with you the DIY tips and recipes so that you can see how to create a unique dinner party for yourself!

The menu included two frittatas (prosciutto, asparagus, and pea, and a veggie with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese), garlic, white cheddar, and chive biscuits, grapefruit glazed doughnuts, coffee glazed French toast casserole and a refreshing grapefruit mimosa!

Deeelllishhh!

I know you probably want me to stop talking and get on to some visuals here, so here are some of the pictures from the night...

So I know I have been hinting at a major collaboration over the past two weeks. Well today is the day that I am letting you in on the big secret...this is what happens when dinner meets dessert.

Let me introduce you to Carol Meche, author of the blog Crème de la Carol, a lifestyle blog filled with delicious baked treats, fashion, DIY projects, and life's moments. Carol and I go back a couple of years where we worked together at Anthropologie, and have stayed good friends ever since.

And something VERY important about Carol is that she is one of the best bakers I have ever known...seriously some of the best cookies I have EVER eaten! Well, anything she makes actually is divine! Which is great for me since I rarely bake. On top of that she has great witty humor and a fabulous sense of style that is totally different from mine...yet another reason we balance each other out.
