Spring Family Gathering

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

We had a most lovelyFamily gathering for EasterAnd all of my styling works for any Spring Celebrationyou might be looking for inspiration!

I once again refashioned one of my dresses!I'm starting to realize this is a favorite Styling HackI really love!
It starts with reusing something I already love.This time it was my pink dress that a couple of years agoI finished off with vintage millinery   flowers form Jeff's Grandmother.
To restyle the dress this year, I ordered a coordinating tulle skirtand wore it with my straw boater.
I also took it out the day beforefor a trip to the Laguna Beach Farmers Marketto buy flowers for our Easter Brunch.Hostessing requires a comfort and ease in an outfitthat I wanted to make sure this dress could support.

This is how I wore the dress a few years agoto a wonderful bridal shower.

This is the dress originally,  before I embellished it withthe amazing antique flowers!

This is this year's rendition I couldn't be happier how it  looked and functioned for Easter!

Now onto my Table Styling!If you follow me on Instagram and Facebookyou have seenthe fabulou over the table rodthat I had Jeff fabricate!
It was so fun to do my party floralsin a brand new to me way!





Another styling highlightthe bar we set up withvintage buckets with garnish from the garden!

Jeff once again made hummus as a vegtable garden.


Megan, our wonderful daughter in lawmade a flight of homemade cakeswith the most amazing flavors!She even makes her own butter for baking!

Of course there was an Easter Egg Hunt!
