Flair: Exquisite Invitations, Lush Flowers, and Gorgeous Table Settings Review
I admire Joe Nye's sense of style and risque ventures with color. He proffers wonderful, useful, practical advice that can be applied to a range of budgets. Joe and I share a love of using carnations and alstroemeria in arrangements for home entertaining. I was particularly taken with his apparent affection for shades of pink, yellow, and blue! Even if one cannot afford to employ a calligrapher, one can certainly apply the principals Mr. Nye suggests to create a similar effect. (I love it that he suggested having a calligrapher to create a "master copy" that can then be duplicated! I'm a firm believer in that when I'm pinching pennies!) Overall, an excellent read, and the photos are magnificent!

Flair: Exquisite Invitations, Lush Flowers, and Gorgeous Table Settings Overview
Inspirational ideas for throwing the perfect party from L.A. interior designer and party planner Joe Nye.
Clients and friends turn to Joe Nye for his advice on gracious living, in particular how to create a smashing get-together. Flair covers three aspects of party planning that can make an event shine—flowers, paper components, and the table setting. In each section, Nye gives inspirational ideas and tips on how to make the most of these decorative elements for any type of occasion. Beautiful photographs of several diverse settings—a breezy beach cocktail gathering, a casual red, white, and blue patriotic sit-down, a pastel-hued ladies’ luncheon, and an elegant black-and-white supper—show how to achieve winning possibilities that can be pulled off with ease. Nye always throws in fun, unexpected elements, such as serving soup in antique finger bowls from the flea market and personal accents that make for a truly memorable event. The book covers topics such as when to use paper napkins, how to make flowers last longer, and host/hostess etiquette. A shopping resource completes this charming guide for those who relish the joy of entertaining.

Wonderfully practical ideas - P. Plumtree - Boise, ID USA
Purchased the book based on the friendship the author has with our Nebraska family. Joe speaks of an era in which our mother's lived and it brings back such wonderful memories of bygone days and serves as a reminder that those days NOT be BYGONE. Taking time and with some emphasis on elegant, entertaining can be FUN, FUN FUN!!!!! Thanks for the memories, Joe
