Football Season Entertaining

September 3, 2014 · 2 Comments

Football Season EntertainingAre you ready for some football? If you’re heading to a game this season, or usually get together with friends to catch your team on TV at home, why not make this year’s viewing season the best.

Make your home football experience special with a new weekly beer selection, and a food spread that will make your fall entertaining feel cozy, and emulate the experience of tailgating in the comfort of your own home. The key to entertaining while still being able to enjoy your football Sunday is, make-ahead dishes, mess free and multi-use serving ware and simple fall decor, like pumpkins and foliage. Even if you’re tailgating in a parking lot, you can kick up the decor with fan worthy colors, and versatile fabrics and props. Make your time before the game worth while by prepping and organizing all your dishes and drinks the day before.

These following football entertaining ideas work well not only for home viewing afternoons but tailgating at the stadium too! The official NFL season starts tomorrow. Who will you be rooting for?

Football Season EntertainingBoost the flavor of classic football dishes with these ideas: Fried Pickles, soft pretzel bites three ways and beer soaked oven fries. For healthier options try barbecue spice roasted chickpeas, kale chips, and baked parmesan zucchini

Football Season EntertainingSetup up all the necessities to make nachos and tacos; these shrimp ones are calling my name

Football Season EntertainingWhen the days become colder a chili or baked potato bar will be a perfect sunday afternoon treat. Serious game watchers will crave these smoky baby back ribs along with wings.

Football Season EntertainingGive guests these chillers at the first game to keep their beers chilled all season long. Setup a beer tasting or each week have a different person choose the main brew to feature that Sunday. It’s a great way to try something new, and what guy doesn’t enjoy beers and football. {left image via, right image via}

Football Season EntertainingCookies are always a hit, but football shaped sandwich cakes are festive, and pumpkin beer cupcakes will be sure to please all your guests {Make funfetti cookies with team colors}

Football Season EntertainingFor a mess free and easy cleanup table cover, lay craft paper designed to look like a football field, and use paper bags as containers for food. {images via}

Football Season EntertainingBring the outdoors indoors with fall decor, pumpkins, branches and foliage. Incorporate your team colors, whether with these diy napkins from old shirts or plaid blankets that work as table coverings or cover ups on chilly days {image via}. Have cheering props, like poms, megaphones, flags, and pennants, on hand so you can show your team spirit {top image via}

Football Season EntertainingPrep snacks in clear containers and grab-and-go bags. Serve individual wrapped sandwiches, or soups in up-cycled cans {image via}

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
