5 Questions for Tim Gunn

Tim Gunn for Nespresso

"From selecting colorful decor to designing a menu to delight your guests, the key to a terrific event, is quality, taste and style, which I try to incorporate into all details, from what I wear to how I design the space to the coffee I drink and serve my guests," said Tim Gunn. "Nespresso offers only the highest quality coffee and their coffee capsules and machines come in a variety of vibrant colors perfect for the summer season – adding style, sophistication and great taste to any celebration." 

 When planning your upcoming party, don't forget Tim Gunn's tips for entertaining: Simply adding a bright tablecloth and a colorful bouquet of fresh flowers can really spruce up a table, but you can take it one step further by adding your own personal touch to the decor. Create a fun place setting or add a statement center piece to bring it to the next level. Ignite your guest's senses with a delicious Nespresso coffee beverage. Whether it's a hot cappuccino or an iced latte, Nespresso has a Grand Cru coffee to suit every preference and their machines look great on your kitchen table or patio. You can pair these recipes with a tasty appetizer or dessert to really sweeten the menu.

No summer party is complete without the flawless outfit and that doesn't necessarily mean you need to go out and purchase a new wardrobe to make it work. Mix and match bold staples from your existing wardrobe to tie the look together – just don't forget comfortable shoes and a transitional jacket or lightweight scarf in case it gets chilly.
