We enjoy entertaining at home, small get togethers with our friends and family are always fun.
Today I'm sharing how I styled my bar cart for the upcoming holidays.
I like to keep things simple with a few bar cart essentials.
Glasses with cute straws and swizzle sticks from Etsy are a fun way to stir drinks. A wine chiller keeps bottles cool.
My favorite candles and napkins hanging on the side will come in handy for the accidental spill.
I have the Threshold cart from Target. I also purchased these faux agate coasters and gave them a makeover with metallic gold craft paint.

During- first coat of paint
After!
To complete the look I added fresh flowers.
I was recently contacted by The Bouqs, an online flower source with awesome South American flowers picked from the side of an active volcano.
I was very excited when they asked if they could send me flowers to review.
The bouquets are beautiful and arrived fresh and carefully packaged.
A simple vase of fresh flowers makes such a big statement.
Cocktail recipe can be found here.
Metallic gold and silver add a bit of glam.
My bar cart is now ready for holiday entertaining!
*Thank you to The Bouqs for providing me with the beautiful bouquets. All opinions expressed in this post are my own!
I just ordered a bouquet from them, the Very Merry set. Can't wait! They are arriving Thursday. I plan to give them to my mother when we meet for lunch on Friday.
ReplyDeleteShe thought they were very beautiful! They arrived on time, I popped them in vase, and voila!
DeleteYour bar cart looks FABULOUS and those flowers are beautiful!! Have a great week Brandi!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the Very Merry set but how awesome was it to receive flowers in a box? LOVE it and especially your beautiful bar cart. I've seen it in Target and love how you styled it. I'm coming over for drinks Brandi!
ReplyDeleteYes! I know I'd like a drink from your bar cart! Everything looks so festive and inviting, Brandi!

ReplyDeleteThe coasters with the gold rims are perfect - I'll be right over for a glass of that wine! I always wanted a bar cart - might have to ask Santa. (:
ReplyDeleteBrandi your bar cart looks beautiful and those flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHello Brandi.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a bar car, I think it's chic :)) but I don't have one... instead my husband built a bar, do you believe that?
Anyway, I love it the way you style your cart bar, I love the gold, and I think the flowers are a very nice touch to it.
Love how you styled your bar cart. I've been eyeing that cart for a while and your post might send me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteYour bar cart looks FAB! And oh me oh my those flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Brandi! I really like the gold paint you added to the coasters, genius! :)

ReplyDeleteI could use these ideas for a small New Years party that we are having! Also, I want to make your white chocolate oatmeal cookies for an ornament exchange tomorrow night. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
ReplyDeletePS. What is the Etsy shop for the swizzle sticks?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Brandi! I need a drink right now ~ on my way over!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and your family Brandi,

ReplyDeleteMaking drinks pretty and special adds to the festivity. Thanks for the inspiration. Linda
ReplyDeleteOh, so beautiful! I am old, so I have had a bar cart for years. My Mom bought one back in the early 50s and passed it to me about 20 years ago. I still love it, and seeing what you've done with yours warms my heart. It's not overdone...just beautiful, especially with the gorgeous white flowers. I love white roses for winter!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely!!!
I absolutely love your bar car. It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Flowers from the side of a volacano! Now that's impressive. Your bar cart is beautiful Brandi! LOVE the details. You're one talented Bar Cart Creator.
ReplyDeleteYour bar cart is perfect! Love the gold accents.

Love the gold addition to the coasters and wow, those are some beautiful flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent bar cart design.. It all looks so elegant..and the flowers adds the special touch.. Bouqs picked the perfect person to design a look for their flowers..
ReplyDeleteI adore this, Brandi! I've got the striped tapers on my mantle right now, and I used the gold and white West Elm napkins on my Thanksgiving table.
