Fall has begun to semi-officially creep up on us, and as we begin planning fall gatherings, we wanted to give you 5 cool ideas that will add pizzazz to your fall event.
With events, it's always the little details that count and that, added up, make for a successful event. So today we have some great ideas for easily adding that special touch to your event. The emphasis is on easy!
Idea #1
Add cupcake toppers or mini flag banners to your desserts (or even to your hors d'oeuvres). These are not just for weddings. Two lines we like are:

Idea #2
You can also buy great cool mod bunting, in very nice colors, at:
www.mycreativesidekg.etsy.com
This bunting is not the old-fashioned kind--it's very contemporary but the colors are soothing, so it doesn't look too cold (the danger with many contemporary designs is that they can look too cold).
Idea #3
You can create a wonderful and cool dessert with almost no effort by buying chocolate dessert cups and filling them with sweetened whipped cream or a mix of sweetened whipped cream and mascarpone or sour cream. Then add a fresh berry to each cup, or chocolate sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
Available at: www.langschocolates.com or www.thefind.com (Search "chocolate dessert cups" in The Find).
Idea #4
Create the coolest chips and salsa display (or station, as we events people now call them) in your 'hood by setting out unexpected types of bowls to hold the salsas, such as crystal or wide, low goblets, preferably clear or colored but clear glass. Even better if the crystal bowl has a pedestal! That mix of more traditional design in the bowl type and more casual in the salsas is unexpected and will dazzle your guests without being stuffy. Use small spoons in each salsa bowl or goblet for guests to spoon the salsa on their chips.
Idea #5
Put small organic flower blooms on your desserts, even cookies, one small bloom per cookie/cupcake/mini dessert/cake or pie slice. No time for even that? Put the blooms on the tray where you're serving the dessert from.
Enjoy!
