#GALS | Galentines Brunch

Valentines Day is generally associated with romance; flowers, chocolates, candlelit dinners… And trust me, I love all of those things! But I love my girl friends too and the idea of a “Galentines” party with copious amounts of pink was just way too good to pass up! 💖

Speaking of all things pink- it started with the wine! Rosé might be great for summer time, but it’s also perfect for a super girly party too! Simply garnish each glass by cutting a slit into a strawberry for a tasty embellishment!

The food had to be fun and girly too of course! Everything on the buffet was super simple, but elevated to feel fancy and festive. Ham and cheese sandwiches were cut into hearts, yogurt parfaits were served in individual dishes with tiny spoons, and the desserts were displayed on a tiered tray, garnished with edible flowers. 🌸

I love when events offer guests some sort of activity so I thought it would be fun for the girls and I to do a little Valentines themed art project. We each decorated a heart on canvas (that I bought in bulk from Michaels) with crafting items I already had on hand: glitter, washi tape, paints, flower sitckers, etc. It was a fun to see how different everyones turned out!

One of the best aspects of hosting a party during a holiday, is that my house is already decorated! My mantel was all ready to serve as a great backdrop for pictures. Before we started our craft, I had the table set with coordinating tableware and cookie “name plates” for everyone to take home as a favor. ☺️

This is one of my favorite parties I’ve ever styled and I hope it gave you some inspiration! Now on to the next holiday!
