David Tutera is a highly-regarded event designer whose clients have included Jennifer Lopez, Elton John, Barbara Walters and the Rolling Stones. He is also the host of a new one-hour, twice-daily programme on The Discovery Channel that debuts in December 2004: The Party Planner with David Tutera. On the show, Tutera lends his expertise to people looking to throw an unforgettable party on an everyday budget. Together they come up with fun themes: how to arrange the decor, plan the menu and address every detail for a wide variety of events. Tutera brings a fresh, original twist to holiday parties while retaining time-honoured tradition and demonstrates novel and affordable, yet utterly sophisticated, approaches to brunches, cocktail parties and dinner parties. This heavily-illustrated book of the same name is tied in with the show. Each chapter of the book covers a different party that will also be aired on his show. Events are planned with each of the five senses considered: the Taste, the Look, the Sounds, the Scent and the Touch. Also included are 'Tutera Tips' for invitations, entertainment, room transformation, decor, menu ideas, table settings and floral arrangements.
