Marcy Blum’s Favorite Things

“We love gifting sets like this to our couples who are beauty-prepping for their big day. Skincare Junkie is one of my favorites.”

“ABC Carpet & Home has been my Pinterest inspo page come alive for years.”

“Anything that isn’t edible gets left at the table (unless it’s a personal portrait). We love to give these as an end-of-night takeaway for guests to enjoy in their drunken stupors. This brand is making cookies chic again and has a cult following.”

“One of the most impactful ways to design a party that feels like it’s at an elegant home rather than a catering hall, is to set the table with artisanal plates and glassware. Il Buco Vita has beautiful pieces that enhance whatever we are serving.”

“Morgane Le Fay is my never-fail evening/work dress designer. The fabrics are always beautiful. I can work and move in them—a big plus. Youthful enough yet elegant, I’ve sent many mother-of-brides shop there as well.”

“Restrooms determine the level of hospitality in a restaurant, an event, or a home. We spend an inordinate amount of time furnishing them with great scents and products. Aesop’s fabulous soaps leave guests’ hands fragrant and soft.”

“Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream is the one item you will inevitably find in any professional makeup kit. I use it as a primer, moisturizer, and general rejuvenator to look refreshed for an evening event.”

“A little-known fact: Prada shoes have a fairly wide toe box. For many of us who spend hours on our feet, this is a blessing. I’m particularly fond of the summer sandals, and buy them in a few colors whenever I can.”

“When entertaining outside, I exclusively use Tossware in mixed colors to bring some elevation to outdoor drinkware.”

“Custom linens and napkins are the little details that can elevate any event. I love Atelier Saucier, who gifted me custom napkins for my recent birthday bash in St. Barths.”
