As a retired professional wedding planner and organizer I loved this video, I have a good friend and professional chef that taught me "it's all in the presentation" I try to remember that in everything I do and in which you do very well. Nikki good job! I try to keep up with your chanel so that I am not putting the same videos out as you, yet try to get what my subscribers ask for I appreciate all the work you put into your videos thanks again for another good one :)
FABULOUS! Everything looked wonderful! Great tips but I would definitely need plenty of time to plan this "last-minute" feast! (WOW! I'm never that prepared.) I LOVE fresh flowers to brighten up any home... the perfect accent for any occasion! When I buy fresh flowers, I also take a few blooms in a small vase to give the guest bathroom a special boost. (& my bedroom/bathroom too! Makes me feel all foo-foo!) Ahh, to have fresh flowers in my home everyday... maybe one day! Beautiful spread, Nikki!
I love your white dishes they do look so fresh and clean. Also love the idea of adding a few fresh ingredients to store bought salsa. Thank you for the tips!!! :)
Love your videos. One idea to keep drinks cold is to freeze a large cup of the beverage ahead of time, remove the juice from the cup by running water over the outsde, and then just add it to your pitcher. It keeps the beverage cold without diluting.
You do such beautiful tables scapes and food presentation. That didn't take a lot of time? Well, it looks like it did and your guests probably thought so too. Thanks for so many ideas.
Awww! Thank you so much! I accidentally hit the delete button on your comment but I reposted it above :). So happy you liked the video. I know you are so excited to see Sicily! I bet she had a blast at camp. Hope you all are doing great. xoxo Nikki
Nikki this video came right on time as usual from you!!! LOL Everything look so lovely, I immediately went over to Amazon and ordered the chilled condiment server $20.00 was great I cant wait to receive it:) Your videos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so helpful, please keep the videos coming, I truly enjoy watching your videos and you have helped me in so many ways with my entertaining here in HOT ATLANTA:) Thank you again!!
Great ideas. And for those of us who currently don't have the condiment tray (love it!), I've seen someone using cupcake baking pans. Thanks again Nikki.
Nikki I have watched a number of your videos and you are just amazing 😊 I love your style and how you put things together !! You are inspiring me to make some changes in my own home. Thank you 💗
Oh wow Nikki, That table looks gorgeous! I will try to recreate it for summertime entertaining. It would take a lot of stress off cooking a lot of stuff. You have the right idea. I am always cooking and cooking in the ktchen, I would rather hang out with our guests. I am doing it all wrong! haha lol
Thank you so much! So happy you liked everything! Please let me know how you like your chilled condiment server. I love mines. Thanks so much for enjoying my videos. That just makes my day! Hope you have been having a great week. Nikki
Great ideas!! And thank you for adding the recipes. Your mom finds the best things like the silver candlesticks and little round white dishes. Also, that subscriber sure knew what you would like. They were very 'Nikki'!! :) Also, have you ever made Panzanella salad? It is fantastic!
Thanks for such a wonderful example of a summer party. I am hosting a "My Favorite Things Girls Day Out" party in May and your video gives me some simply sweet ideas to incorporate and make my party look like a million bucks! Be blessed Nikki and thanks again for sharing.
Nikki I love your channel so much - so inspiring in many ways. Makes me just wanna get it all together so I can do all of these wonderful things. Thank you for sharing your creativity and warmth with us ❤️😊
WOW Nikki....that table n food look absolutely GORG. I'm with u on the white dishes. I have me a set of food network square ones and just love them. n those great tips
LIVELOVELATTE COMMENT:Just beautiful!! Got home from picking up Sicily from camp - 4 days without her :( Then I come home and see this video - I feel so happy! TFS!!
I have a ton of white entertaining pieces and a white dish set and a clear dish set, the clear are nice-you can spruce then up by placing punches of color beneath them and decorate under with custom placemats
Oh my! I love your tips. I did the fruit kebabs today and it was a hit. I love the fresh flowers as a centerpiece and will definitely incorporate that in my next dinner or lunch. Thank you for your great and super economical tips!
Take advantage of the deli & produce departments in your grocery store. In the produce section you can find bags of baby carrots, cut up ready to serve/eat fruits & veggies, bags of salad & coleslaw that will eliminate a lot of prep work which saves you a lot of time & effort. The deli has all sorts of meats & cheeses & will slice or shred as much as you want in to whatever thickness you want. The deli also lots of premade salads so choose a favorite or three that you love, bowl & serve.
Hey Nikki, greetings from San Fran. Gotta laugh, though. What you call "impromptu" would take me 48-hours advance planning. Great tip about the pound cake and fruit kabob!! Never saw that done before. And you are so right about the basic white dish set. Been using mine for years. When are you going to take us on a tour of the place where all this magic happens - your kitchen?
Thanks so much for the videos. I always get great ideas. Please keep them coming. Question: Have you ever lived in an apartment? I've been searching around for months on how to decorate and/or host parties in my small apartment and I can't get inspiration from anywhere. Since you're so great at this, I was hoping you could lend us some of your expertise. Thanks! Once again...you and your videos are great!
what was that website that you said for the condiment tray, me and my hubby do alot of family barbeques and that would be great, everything looks so lovely, cant wait to try the peach sangria it looks yummy
