We recently had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with amazing photographer Jasmine Star and a host of talents for a 1920's wedding inspiration shoot for Brides.com . Designer Lindye Galloway created a divine setting in the already gorgeous and sun-filled Marion Davies House in Malibu. We love the soft gold color scheme, comfortable yet elegant vintage seating and sea-inspired details, like the glittering scallops in the altar backdrop.

At GG!, we believe it's as much fun to give a foodie gift as to receive one. Foodie gifts are joyful, full of color and flavor, creativity, invention and imagination...and they hold the promise of wonderful meals to be savored and shared with family and friends. Here are a few of the gifts we've added to our holiday lists this year! Himalayan Pink Rock Salt and Custom Grater From the foothills of the Himalayas, this salt gets its pink speckled color from the natural richness derived from iron and other minerals. Natural and pure, it is unrefined with no additives. Packaged with a custom grater to grate fresh at the table. From Sur La Table La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil Add a little something special to your winter dishes, salads, baked goods and vegetable sautes with the rich, roasted flavor of La Tourangelle walnut oil. This French favorite is now handcrafted in California...and it's good for you, too! From Sur La Table   Flora Springs Holiday Helper Red Wine  A...

At Good Gracious! we LOVE having the opportunity of pairing wine and food.  Our client had an Open House on the 60th floor of a high-rise in Los Angeles and wanted a little something more than networking with music. We decided to create a California Wine Journey for their guests to enjoy, with wines on three floors paired with food in each area.  We had a wine expert available in each area to share added knowledge and enrich the experience. We hope the selections below will inspire you to explore and savor the fresh tastes of the golden state this holiday season.
