We invite you to join us for an intimate gathering where champagne wishes and sweet dreams of decadent desserts meet for the prettiest of parties with Paper Crown tastemakers Lauren Conrad and Maura McManus.

A Sugarcoated Spread
What’s for dessert? The hostess duo displayed an a la carte assortment of mini apple pies, meringues and cheesecake from Merci To Go, decadent truffles from Jessica Foster Confections, and mini wine-infused cupcakes and cakes from Enjoy Cupcakes — all locally-sourced favorites!

“We are all about details and thoughtfulness in design in our clothing and the same goes for hosting a special gathering. Taking extra care in details makes for a significant impact. Here are some tips:

Hand-write invitations.
Add romantic touches with flowers.
Get personal with place cards and menus.
Pretty dishware and drinkware is always a plus!”

– Lauren + Maura

“I love dressing up when hosting events. Wear something that makes you feel beautiful! After all, this is what this gathering is all about — embracing lovely things, your friends included!” – Lauren

“We are fortunate in that we work with our best friend! We have known each other since 5th grade, lived together after college and shared a dream to start a clothing company together. Paper Crown came to be over many late nights of designing, business planning and multiple dinner parties with our closest friends that we essentially conned into forced focus groups (with wine and dessert of course!)! Almost six years later, multiple seasons and new categories of Paper Crown, we suppose we owe our friends a dinner party in their honor!!” – Lauren + Maura

Here’s to celebrating our glorious Mother Earth today and every day! 🥂🌎🌷

This gathering was a celebration of food, nature and likeminded friends at @thewunderkammer_urbanfarm in the spring of 2019. 

Surrounded by an abundance of blooming potted flowers + plants, animals, various gardens, a wild meadow and beautiful life-sized topiaries that flanked each end of the table we sat at...it was one of those magical evenings thats exceptional beauty and spirit was made possible by Mother Earth...and the thoughtful aesthetic of @thewunderkammer_amsterdam, of course!

Two springs ago @juliepaisley and I traveled to the Netherlands to experience the rainbow of flowers that bloom across the country. The sun barely made an appearance during our entire trip but that didn’t stop the glorious spectrum of color that captured our hearts day in and day out. 🌷 🌈 

During our trip we had the “pinch myself” opportunity to meet with @thewunderkammer_amsterdam for an evening of floral fun. ⬆️ That glorious photo above was designed by the artful design duo for our gathering! #myheartsaflutter 

While I haven’t been able to share the story of our time in Amsterdam as I’d hoped in the magazine, I will be sharing it here over the course of the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy this colorful dose of spring in Holland!

PS - I’m currently sharing an opportunity to flower alongside The Wunderkammer over at @the_floral_pantry!! Be sure to check it out to flower the day away with us!
