Wedding Style

Style Inspiration: Cocktail Party

If a formal multicourse dinner in a stately ballroom is out of your budget, or just doesn't feel very you, scale back the pomp of a traditional reception and ramp up the good times with an elegant cocktail party instead.

Here, tomato tartare arrives stacked on Parmesan crostini and topped with a sunny-side up quail egg. The hors d'oeuvres were created by Beauty & Essex, the restaurant on Manhattan's Lower East Side where we threw our party.
