Sensational Soirées with J + G

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…  and party plannin’ is underway.  On any given Saturday, you’ll find us cooking out with friends on the terrace or packing a picnic for the beach.  While we’re more of the low-key, come as you are types, sometimes it’s nice to plan a more extravagant affair and that’s where the girls from J+G Design come in.

Jennifer Beek and Georgie Hambright are the beauties and the brains behind this new interior design and event planning firm based in New York.  We met Jennifer when she worked with our adorable friend, Harry Heissmann, and discovered her new venture when we saw our Green and Groovy Bouquet on their blog, The Curatorial (love it when that happens!)

Not only does this dynamic duo design sleek and elegant interiors, they also create unique events (they see these as “temporary” interiors.)  With services including picking a theme and color scheme, planning a menu, creating a signature drink, arranging flowers and setting a terrific table, who could go wrong?

And they’re even willing to share a tip or two…  See how they mixed in vintage linens, china and glassware for an eclectic and layered look in their client’s industrial loft…

or how they used Christmas ornaments as place card holders and mercury glass balls instead of candles to reflect light in a rustic winter tablescape.

We know we’ll be visiting their Pinterest boards to be inspired for our next party.  Now if only we could only get the construction finished!
