"Lorna brings style and joy to everything she does, whether designing a room or setting the table. Now, we can delight in her magical world!" —Steele Marcoux, Editor-in-Chief Veranda Magazine "In this breezy debut, interior designer Gross shares ideas on how to host sophisticated events for a variety of occasions... This will spark hosts' imaginations." —Publishers Weekly From interior designer and style maven Lorna Gross, Entertaining by Design is a collection of accessible gatherings, organized by season, from a small dinner to post-Christmas breakfast celebration. Each gathering is designed to be instructional, inspirational, and doable for anyone by using tableware and decorations you may already have along with carefully chosen decorative items like place cards or serving platters that can cost as little or as much as your budget allows. Each gathering includes suggestions for the best way to invite your guests—sometimes, that's just a well-thought-out email—types of tableware, music suggestions to set the mood, and a color scheme to tie everything together.

In a world where we're constantly busy, it's easy to think there is no time to plan a party, but Lorna proves that with her simple instructions, streamlined tips, and a little planning, any of these gatherings can be accomplished. Whether you believe you don't know how to create a gathering or you just think you don't have the time, gorgeous photos throughout the book encourage readers by showing how easy it can all be.
