If you are entertaining this winter season, then you need to know how to make a shaar·koo·tr·ee board. Why, because we all need to enjoy sitting around the table connecting with one another after this year! Here are my how to tips for creating your own amazing charcuterie board whether big or small, it will make be a staple on your holiday entertaining table.

|1| Start with the holiday theme. What does that mean? If it is Thanksgiving, think of the word "gathering" and the colors of "orange, rust, brown, yellow and green." If it is Christmas, think of the word "celebrate" and the colors of "red, green, silver, gold." If it is Hanukkah, think of the word "festive" and the colors of "blue, white, yellow and silver."

As we start to get back to gatherings, many of us are hosting events at our home. From graduations, birthdays, baby showers and more we can start celebrating our life's occasions again! I have been the event planner to many outdoor parties this year, which comes along with a lot of planning.

See my party checklist for hosting your next event at home.

If you are entertaining this summer, consider making a bold color choice. We all have been inside and are in need of cheering up with a bit of vibrancy in our life!

For this tabletop design I choose the color yellow, because it just made me happy! There are so many color hues you can choose like, red, blue, orange or pink. Once, you choose the color let it be your muse for the dining table inspiration.

Together, with a team of creatives we set this stunning table escape in the gardens of Allerton.

|1| Select your inspirational linen. In selecting the hydrangea linen called, Garden Oasis, I wanted the surrounding flowers to be a part of the dining experience. Also, the bright colors of blue, pink, green and orange brought a lightness & happiness to the setting.

The celebratory winter event for my dad's BIG 70TH birthday was a groovy vibe of inspiration in the Midwest. I decided this year to host a themed birthday celebration to honor the life of my dad!

Follow along, as I breakdown how to plan a theme birthday!
