With the release of the new blockbuster, Great Gatsby, it seems to be trending in everything from fashion to weddings to flowers! Since Great Gatsby is all the rage why not throw the best Gatsby Garden Party, and party like a Gatsby! Here's how:

Theme
Now, you may be thinking that garden party is your theme but there can be much to add to your garden. Let's think colors and certain flowers. Greens, yellow, golds, silvers, and anything A stunning white elegancesthat shimmers and adds glamour. A couple of the 'stunning White Elegance's  would thrive as your table top flower decor. Pair these with white, simple, fragrant-less tea light candles and some silver or gold glitter sprinkled around to add shine. You can also work with your local favorite, French Florist, to create something like the movie.  Just invasion Daisy walking through the garden, where orchids and lilies are flowing down from over head and it makes you feel like you are in a fairy tale land.  That's sure to conjure up all of your guests oooh's and aaah's.

Fashion
For what to wear, think: art deco or 1920's flapper! Men head down to your favorite suit shop. Gatsby is always dressed to nines. Ladies, it's time to go vintage shopping. You know the flapper 20's style of straight gowns and flat caps or a headband. Go crazy and add some feathers to your cap (or guys add to your lapels. Or be sure to stick a white rose or two in your hair with some silver or gold colored jewels to really jazz up your look.

Menu
Lastly, it's all about apps and bevs. First foremost there must be champagne. And if youre Champagne waterfallfeeling confident go for a luxurious champagne chandelier or waterfall. Decorate around the display by draping stringed pearls or jewels to create a kind of curtain. Tea is a good option for those who don't drink alcohol. Citrus such as oranges and lemons are familiar theme in the book and movie (lemon cakes are a great finger food). Also there should be glistening hors doeuvres and (if youre really sticking to theme) spiced baked hams decorated with 'salads of harlequin design.

So just remember, in the days of the Great Gatsby, it was all about glitz and glamour and the go-go of the 20s. So have fun with everything you do and make it shimmer, shine and sparkle!

The Poinsettia shares December with The Narcissus flower as December's Plant. The beautiful foliage is actually specialized leaves, called bracts, not petals. The plant is the most popular planted pot in the United States! #flowerofthemonth #December #holiday #festive #flowermeanings #christmastime
