With Halloween just one day a way we wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy time whether you are Trick-or-Treating or Partying. Thierry’s Catering is in the business of providing all the ingredients of a perfect halloween party and now we’re sharing them with you!

1. Be Creative – don’t let limit your theme to Halloween

Is your party scary or silly? Ghouls and Goblins or your favorite childhood TV character? Maybe you want to throw a masquerade – whatever it is have fun with it. Halloween is the time to go crazy and have fun!

2. Serve up Spooky Treats – The fun doesn’t have to end with music and costumes

No matter what you have on the menu there is always a way to add a spooky twist in arrangements and names. Take a lesson from these punny treats:

Hallo-weenies – Pigs in a blanket
Dracula’s Blood(y mary’s)- Bloody Mary’s
3.  Decorate, Decorate, Decorate!

Decorations are a great way to keep the Halloween sprit up. Purchase some colored bulbs to give all the walls a spooky feel and accessorize with some posters, streamers and cardboard stand ups

Remember have a safe and fun halloween!

February 28, 2012 – The Vizcayans, along with Champagne Lanson, hosted the Fourth Annual Vizcaya Preservation Luncheon at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Lanson Champagne is a Champagne house originally founded in 1760 and located in Reims. Champagne Lanson served its premier Special Edition Rose Brut in the signature pink bottle. Fondly referred to as the “hat luncheon”, this year’s event emulated the traditional chic daytime events that were customarily held in the formal Italianate gardens during Vizcaya’s early years as a public museum. Women dressed elegantly; seas of glamorous and fanciful hats and gentlemen were welcomed to attend in sub-tropical dapper dress including hats.

MIAMI/SOUTH FLORIDA On Tuesday, the Design Center of the Americas campus in Dania Beach unveiled DesignHouse, and its ongoing designer showcase titled "Film & Design: the Golden Age of Hollywood." The Tinseltown-themed V.I.P. preview gala garnered some 600 attendees, made up of members of the press, designers, architects, art collectors, and design enthusiasts. Tickets to the event were $100, with all of the proceeds benefiting the Wolfsonian FIU, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.

In a 10,000-square-foot showroom turned model house on the venue’s third floor, DesignHouse features 18 room installations inspired by classic cinema from the 1920s to the 1960s, designed by different interior design firms. According to the center’s director of marketing Ashlee Harrison, who handled production for both the preview gala and the ongoing exhibition, “South Florida has an amazing breadth of design talent, so we wanted to make sure we represented all communities that [the center] services—Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Naples, and beyond," she said. "We also wanted to feature established firms and introduce emerging talent, those we perceive to be driving forces in the industry.”

Aiming to connect the creative disciplines of film and interior design, each firm used resources from the approximately 100 showrooms inside the 800,000-square-foot design center—things like textured wall coverings, original art, custom furniture and vintage artifacts—to create their respective environments reminiscent of a different era.

Launching simultaneously on Tuesday was the separate "Greg Gorman: A Distinct Vision 1970-2010" exhibition, in a 6,875-square-foot gallery on the design center’s ground floor. “We had to plan and execute two major exhibitions simultaneously, but there is synergy in the themes—celebrity, Hollywood, film stars, and glamour—so they play off of each other well,” said Harrison.

Gorman was present at the private preview gala, as were all of the room installation designers, to speak about their work. Their presence was one of the factors that made the event a success, said Harrison. That, and “having a nice control of the flow,” she said. “Each guest was issued [what looked like] a theater ticket with a [45-minute] viewing time. This helped to keep the flow consistent and the experience comfortable, so there was not a crowded rush in the house. Guests would enjoy the reception and the Greg Gorman retrospective while they waited for their view time.”

Sponsors of the preview gala included Jaguar, Grey Goose, Bacardi, and tech company Ikatu, which set up interactive touch-screen monitors next to each room installation featuring detailed information about each space—including footage from the film that served as inspiration, a designer statement, and a detailed resource list (most of the products used in each room are available for purchase).

DesignHouse will run through July 15. The Greg Gorman retrospective will run until March 18. Regular tickets are $15, with the proceeds benefiting the three cultural institutions behind the event.
