The coming of spring means longer days, warmer weekends and my favorite, endless dinner parties! I love to entertain, and often am asked what my favorite dinner party arrangement includes. At Alice’s Table, we want you to “live your joyous life” — meaning less time prepping and more time with your guests (cocktail in hand!). My go-to? Tulips!

Whether you’re a seasoned flower designer or simply throwing your first apartment dinner party, there is a tulip variety for every taste and occasion! Tulips require no additional fillers, and can be arranged in under 5 minutes. Plus, tulips are one of the only flowers that will continue to grow in your vase. You can even prep them the day before– just make sure to cut the stems a tiny bit shorter than you think is necessary, by morning they will be perfect! Pick them up on Saturday morning farmer’s market run or at any local florist.
