This is the first of many posts to follow about places where I would love to host a party, hopefully 2010 will bring lots of reasons to celebrate! The first space is located on Union Park in the South End just a few doors down from the South End Buttery. It's a boutique called Looc which has a unique space on a beautiful street. Recently, the space was rented to film part of the Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz movie being shot in town, so be sure to keep an eye out for it (although, they said the space was completely redone for the day of filming).
The space is mostly white with exposed brick and a loft area. I think going with colors like pink, navy blue & a lighter green would be perfect. A preppy theme would work well with the classic bicycle they already have on-hand. Or perhaps make it a white party (although kind of overdone at this point) or polo-esque (popped collars encouraged to fit the theme).
The front of Looc, on Union Park:
The largest room with a chandelier and I love the brick.
I would like to have flowers like these all around to add some color. These flowers were at the Four Seasons in Istanbul, their hotels always have the most beautiful flowers.
I was at a party in Nantucket last summer and there was a photographer on-hand so one of the parting gifts was picture frames with photos from the evening. You can order some of these Lucite picture frames from Dabney Lee (so cute!) but if you need a bunch, make your own. Buy plastic picture frames and buy some paper with fun patterns (the above are from the paper source in Boston).
These monogrammed coasters (below) in navy blue and pink would be a great touch. You can order 30 for $25.
Another party favor idea is some preppy key chains - $10 each from 2preppygirls.com
I love these nautical wine charms, perfect for the theme. And don't buy just regular plastic cups, how about these from Lilly Pullitzer.....major preppsta!
