Galentine's Day

No date?  No problem.  Since Valentine's Day is all about showing the love, why not celebrate those who truly hold a special place in your heart.  There's nobody better to glorify than those of your girl gang.  Host a Galentine's bash to show your sisters just how much they're adored. Pop bottles, snack on sweets and howl over past loves' major quirks and bad blunders.

Want to host a pretty affair?  With Otis Redding on repeat, glowing candles scattered and bottles of your favourite bubbly in hand, you're ready for the prettiest girls' night in.  We favor darling drinks like sherbert champagne floats, gin & jam cocktails and refreshing rose-lemon spritzers.  They're oh so heavenly and ensure there's something for everyone.  Fresh flowers top cocktails in a snap and freeze beautifully in cubes.  Satisfy your sweet tooth by filling a decorated dessert table with the prettiest macarons, petite cakes and all the chocolate. 

A muted colour pallet of soft blush, cream and rose set the stage for a sweet celebration. Make it glow by adding warm metallics in rose gold and champagne.  Prefer to go bold?  Stick to shades of rich raspberry and deep plum as they play nice with pink and are equally stunning alongside deeper hues such as onyx and navy blue.  This Galentine's Day bash is the perfect excuse to dress up and feel ah-mazing.  Trade in your leggings and top knot for an embellished blouse or party dress.  A pretty photo booth will capture the night's festivities, supply endless hours of fun and decorate a large area in a snap.

If the sweetness of Valentine's day is all too much, don't rule out a Galentine's night completely - just make it mellow.  Get cozy with your favourite friendship flicks - Bridesmaids, Clueless and Bad Moms top our list.  Wear pajamas, sip champagne and munch on the most delectable bites. Grab your favorite take-away, get cozy under the covers and have a slumber party that's high on happiness and low on the love scale.

However you choose to celebrate the day, we hope it's filled with love and all things beautiful.
