With Winter arriving in a few weeks, it will be time to move the party inside! I am very excited to celebrate the start of Winter and show you how to style your own Winter Bar Cart! The key is making your bar cart both functional and pretty. Styling a bar cart for a party is one of my favorite things to do - it's like a party on wheels! Am I right?





5 TIPS TO STYLE A WINTER BAR CART
  • Keep it in your color scheme. If the cocktail you are serving, is blue, serve it in a clear glass and pull together napkins, straws, coasters and decor in the hues of blue and silver. It is also fun to add in other beverages with the same color labels, as I did here with mini bottles of LaMarca champagne. 
  • Make sure you have a variety of glassware, like champagne, wine and cocktail, to match the beverages you are serving.
  • Don't be nervous about getting creative with "out of the box" thinking when you serve your cocktails! I added my signature Polar Blast cocktail to clear ornaments - this provided the extra "flair" I was looking for and my guests loved it! 
  • Decorate your bar cart with fun winter decor, such as stockings, brush bottle trees placed in blue mercury glass tea light holders, silver glitter take-out boxes, silver reindeer, and mini ornaments in the color scheme to pull everything together. I added the mini blue ornaments to the wine glasses to give them a festive look. 
  • Bar tools are an important part of any bar cart, such as bottle openers, shaker, stirrers, strainer and ice bucket. 






Bring on the winter parties! You and your bar cart will be ready!

Welcome Winter with a Festive Bar Cart

Hosting a holiday party or celebration? I'm kicking off the holiday season with this Holiday Brunch Bar Cart Party! I've teamed up with Kate Aspen to provide you with plenty of party inspiration. I'm featuring a fun alternative to a regular cake, cran-raspberry mimosas and mini cinnamon rolls so delicious you won't want to share them! Continue reading for all the details. 


Traditionally brunch is served between 11am and 2pm here in the US, so I decided to serve a donut cake instead of a traditional cake. Using a large cake stand, stack your favorite donuts and garnish with donut holes. For dramatic flair and to be truly festive, add tall birthday candles!  



You can definitely serve juice on its own but since this is a holiday party, why not serve it up as an optional cocktail? Brunch is the perfect time to enjoy a mimosa and a Cran-Raspberry Mimosa is my new favorite. There is much debate on the proper proportions for a mimosa, ask any one of your friends and you will probably be told different ways to make them. In my opinion, 1 part cran-raspberry juice and 2 parts champagne, it's less sweet and so delicious! Serve it in these fabulous stemless champagne glasses, add a gold foil straw and you are all set.












A bar cart is such a great alternative to the larger seated table setting and the party dessert table. I styled my bar cart with the color palate of gold and mint. I am swooning over these colors and the bar cart looks so festive! I added some fun party elements, such as the beautiful plates and matching napkins, gold foil straws, glitter snowflake coasters, cheers bottle openers and mini frames. Horn blowers, tissue tassels and mint and gold wrapped packages add party flair. 



These gorgeous diamond shaped favor boxes add such a great dimension to the cart and party and are the perfect take-home for guests.
