From flower arrangements and table settings to selecting a menu and preparing a shopping list, Entertaining at Home by Ronda Carman gives readers a tour of leading tastemakers’ homes and their best practices for hosting.
Carefully curated by Carman, she says that “this is not meant to be a volume on how to entertain properly, but rather a glimpse of real people at home nurturing friends and family.” As aspirational as it is inspirational, each chapter of the book is filled with beautiful photography, creative recipes, and successful strategies from hosts that also offer their personal viewpoints and anecdotes.
Behind-the-scenes planning and attention to detail are key when getting ready for a gathering of loved ones, and no matter the level of elegance, every event featured is designed to make guests feel special. From a summer social in New Orleans and a lively Texas luncheon to a lavish holiday dinner in Washington, D.C., this collection is sure to become an essential guide to all things entertaining.
