Celebrations: A Scrapbook of Imaginative Ideas for Gala Days by Lyn Le Grice
Lyn Le Grice has put together 20 celebrations inspired by the seasons that combine the best of theatrical, atmospheric and imaginative effects. Included are a children's pirate party, complete with costumes, a treasure map and a Jolly Roger cake, a summer wedding reception held in a stencilled tent and a Venetian-style masked ball for New Year. All these colourful festivities rely on hand-made decorations, food drink and costumes, which are therefore cheaper, more stylish and individual than commercial party packaging.
