If you are planning a wedding, rehearsal dinner, reception, fund raiser, ball, White House event, or any celebration, look no further than Bryan Rafanelli and his new book, A GREAT PARTY: DESIGNING THE PERFECT CELEBRATION. I have certainly enjoyed this beautiful book. 

If you want extravagance, you are in the right place.  A few of  Rafanelli Rules include making the celebrations memorable, thinking big, don’t expect the unexpected; create it, shoulder and above; where guests see their first and last impression, beauty in numbers; how using simple items in great numbers work, and telling a story. Bryan follows every rule, as you will see in the 256 pages and 150 photographs in this beautiful book. 

Below are several of the stunning images in the book. ENJOY!
