It wouldn’t be a celebration of “I do’s” without talking about what to gift the bride to be.  From gifts for entertaining, to items that will adorn her bar cart, and monogrammed linens she’ll have for years to come the options are truly endless.  So I’ve rounded up some of my faves to help you pick out just the right thing.  TGIF Loves!  truly, MKR

If I’ve learned anything from moving to the South it’s that football is life, and the tailgate is an art form.  So when I was at Danielle’s home this summer chatting about her book Soiree and the discussion of tailgates came up we decided to combine our entertaining prowess and throw our very own tailgate and just in time for the big Alabama/Tennessee game on Saturday!

Combining the rich, and very fall appropriate colors, of Alabama and Tennessee with vintage leather accents, plenty of good food and drink I think you’ll find our tailgate turned out not to be your average Saturday at the stadium.  Make sure to visit Danielle’s site for additional pictures as well as everything you need to entertain (it’s a daily read for me).  And we’ll be sharing all of the tailgate food recipes on Wednesday and drink recipes as well as some team playlists on Friday of this week.  And to help make your football season just a tad better Danielle and I are hosting a little Instagram and Twitpic contest this week and will be providing two winners their team of choice  Team TableVogue tablecloth (details below).  So who are you rooting for this weekend?  truly, MKR
