Cocktail napkins are one of those things that you probably never think about, but they are a small way to make a big impact. Instead of using paper cocktail napkins at your next dinner party or larger event, consider buying real linen. They are less wasteful and they feel so much better. Here are a few charming napkins we discovered on One Kings Lane.

Hotel Bel-Air is one of our favorite locations. The Hotel combines old world charm with just enough of a contemporary flair to make it feel fresh and vibrant.
Stephanie Hogue photographed the lovely wedding we recently planned at the hotel, below. The bride wanted a classic, understated wedding.
Of course, we made sure the evening was fun and unique.

A sweet ending
Santa Monica has no shortage of restaurants. However, I often find myself looking for a place with the following criteria and not too many restaurants meet these specifics:
A. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner – without closing in between meals
B. A menu consisting of fresh and delicious simple food
C. Casual and fun
D. Outdoor seating
M Street Kitchen on Main Street in Santa Monica meets all of my criteria. Quite simply, everything on the menu is delicious. The food is fresh and tastes as if it has been selected by hand, but at the same time it’s unpretentious and basic. From their almond crunch granola with Greek yogurt to the spinach and cheddar omelette at breakfast to the organic tomato gazpacho and griddle burger at lunch to the country fried chicken with fluffy biscuits at dinner – it is all wonderful. It is the kind of food you could eat nearly every night and not get tired of.
Ohh – and did I mention their bakery? All I can say is – leave room for dessert! Pryor Events are big fans of M Street Kitchen.
The freshly baked cookies have the perfect consistency
There is a new Kid on the block. Monsieur Marcel – the wonderful French Cafe at The Original Farmers Market has opened in Beverly Hills. You can still indulge in their aromatic cheese fondue, French onion soup and classic Croque Monsieur. The menu also has fresh fish, steak and perfectly roasted chicken. This location features great gifts and wonderful Charcuterie. From their cheese plates to the amazing items you can take home for dinner – each item is displayed in such an appetizing fashion.
Their selection of imported Cheese is astonishing. I was told that they will be continuously expanding their take-out section to include complete meals. Pryor Events are fans of Monsieur Marcel.
These rings from BHLDN are understated and gorgeous.
They look as great worn to dinner with jeans as to an awards show with an evening gown.

Chelsea Market is unlike any building constructed today.
The Clambake from “The Lobster Place” comes with a Maine lobster, Prince Edward Mussels, steamers, little neck clams, new potatoes and corn. Even crackers and bibs are included to take home.
If you cannot wait to get home, you can have your lobster steamed on site to enjoy immediately.
Pryor Events are definitely fans of Chelsea Market.
