" Pippa Lord, founder of Sous Style The Theme: This event was our homage to the greatest Christmast movie of all time, Love Actually. I think I&amp;#039;ve watched the movie like nine billion times and definitely not only during the holidays! I mean, who doesn&amp;#039;t want Hugh Grant to be your Prime Minister?! The Colors: Festive and modern jewel tones. The Centerpiece: I weaved together plastic berry garlands and individually wired jewel tone baubles throughout it to give it a modern edge.  The Flowers: It felt more modern not to overload with flowers. Instead I chose to bold statement flowers like these two orchids which anchored the setting in between gold vases that were filled with more colorful baubles! Super fun! The Placemats: The placemats were inspired by the Sous Style homepage which features a knive and fork and on it was a playful quote from Love Actually which we printed on heavy card stock. The Atmosphere: For me the holidays is all about love, playfulness and the possibility for anything to happen. Oh and Mariah Carey playing in the background. (Ever the modern hostess, Lord had a television set-up tableside so she could Skype friends into the festivities who were overseas.)   The Party Favor: Each guest was given a special Christmas Tiara that I indvidually weaved together with wire, tincil holly and berries late last night! The Music: A mix of classic and cute Christmas jams, e.g Justin Bieber feat. Busta Rhymes &amp;quot;Drummer Boy,&amp;quot; Kylie Minogue &amp;quot;Santa Baby,&amp;quot; Big Dee Irwin &amp;amp;amp; Little Eva &amp;quot;I Wish You A Merry Christmas,&amp;quot; Paul McCartney &amp;amp;amp; Wings &amp;quot;Wonderful Christmas Time,&amp;quot; and Otis Redding &amp;quot;White Christmas.&amp;quot;  Photography by Lianna Tarantin "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
