Rebecca Gardner's Houses & Parties pop up at Blue Hills is a circus tent stocked with tabletop and cocktail accouterments and off beat gifts.
No one throws a party quite like Rebecca Gardner and her full-service event and interior design firm Houses & Parties. Opulence injected with a dose of irreverence might describe it — but you can only truly understand a Houses & Parties event if you experience one (ideally one hosted by clients like Lauren Santo Domingo or Carolina Herrera). Gardner, who grew up in Texas but is now based in New York and Savannah, founded her event firm 12 years ago. She added an online retail experience for “devotees of the elegant and unusual” in 2020. We promise, once you sign up for H&P emails, you’ll find yourself purchasing chocolate cigarettes ($28 for four packs) and a hand-blown artisanal twisted glass caviar service ($564) and throwing an obscure yet cleverly themed dinner party.
