Jeanne Benedict's Flower Facts on Entertaining

What I believe: Gorgeous flowers are the ultimate compliment to your guests, letting them know you care enough about your time spent together to surround them in beauty and scintillate their senses. Jeanne Benedict, host of DIY Network's Weekend Entertaining, is a party expert, chef and author of four books. Never has entertaining at home been more en vogue. We cherish celebratory times together - beyond just traditional holidays - we are inventing our own individual reasons to celebrate and are finding that spur-of-the-moment celebrations with family and friends create the memories we remember forever. The sensorial qualities of flowers make them a natural to enhance celebrations no matter how intimate the gathering. Better yet, they are an easy, uncomplicated way to make a statement or simply decorate! A Rutgers University study says it best: Flowers create instant happiness, exactly the mood you want for a party. Whether you're presenting flowers at your own event or bringing them as a hostess gift. Order today from Winfield Flower Shoppe and your weekend entertainment will be enjoyable. You also get Pedal (Points) Rewards with every order placed. Go to: www.winfieldflorist.com

Spice Up Summer Picnics & Barbeques

Summer is all about relaxing in the great outdoors while spending time with friends and family says Jeanne Benedict, host of DIY Networks Weekend Entertaining, is a party expert, chef and author of four books. Two of my favorite ways to celebrate the season are serving inventive fresh food and decorating with imaginative floral arrangements. But, you still want to keep things “easy breezy” so you can enjoy your get together and catch up with guests. Even though most summer gatherings are casual, a theme is still a good idea as it streamlines planning. You probably have some delicious recipes or colors in mind, so why not choose a theme based on them. Touch base with your local florist Winfield Flower Shoppe www.winfieldflorist.com who will have some amazing floral decorating ideas that will enhance your gathering and hold up in the heat. Here are a couple of summer entertaining ideas to get you started:


Pretty as a Picnic

Most picnics are impromptu; grab a blanket, container of food, and you’re good to go. Step it up for this classic summertime outing by inviting friends to a picnic with panache. The picnic can take place at a park or even a beach! (Check with local officials about reserving a spot or other questions you may have, for example, rules about beverages in glass bottles.)

Go with vibrant colors from food to flowers, and choose a menu that features “all in one foods,” such as my recipe for Yellow Tomato, Feta and Mint Cups. The luscious yellow tomato cup holds individual salads. This type of menu item eliminates the need for extra serving bowls, and the container is edible making clean up a snap. Another crowd pleaser is my Proscuitto, Melon, and Kiwi Appetizer.

Pretty up the spread with stylish disposable plates and utensils rolled in paper napkins tied with grosgrain ribbon in a complementary color to your flowers, the centerpiece of your picnic table. Ask Winfield Flower Shoppe to design the flowers in a fun container thematic to your location and easy to transport. Tuck a flower in each napkin to tie in with the centerpiece. Ask Winfield Flower Shoppe for more ideas.

Sophisticated Grill Out

Now “sophisticated” doesn’t have to be stuffy. For me, upscale summer entertaining means going a bit deeper into flavor combinations for appetizers and dessert, such as the recipes below, and keeping it simple for the main entrée with tasty steaks and seasonal vegetables like corn or asparagus.

For this type of BBQ party, delicious food and a beautiful tabletop are all you need to hit a homerun. Consider buying a new set of casual plates with a summer motif. Trendy plates can really perk up a table and even set the tone for the party. Bring any kind of ‘inspiration piece” that you have to your local florist Winfield Flower Shoppe so they can design the perfect centerpiece for this al fresco affair, and all you have to do is grill and chill. Ask Winfield Flower Shoppe for a few extra flowers to scatter on serving trays for an added festive look.
