Spring entertaining tip: “Forgo paper and plastic plates—put out the good stuff. It’s better for the environment, and more memorable. But if you must go disposable, I like bamboo because it’s bio-degradable.”

Spring entertaining tip: “If you’re the hostess, wear a fresh flower in your hair. Try a camellia or orchid. You’ll stand out when you greet your guests in style.”
