Gabbi Maragos

Meet Gabbi!

Gabbi is a stylist who turned her passion for fashion into her part time business and social media community based on helping others feel their best and most confident on their wedding day and beyond! She has a love for feminine, fabulous and timeless fashion. She is style obsessed, and often overdressed. She takes private clients (personal styling, event styling, and in-home closet edits) for all ages! Consider her your shopping BFF.

Tell us your dream party? Where would it be? What you you serve? My dream gathering would be a black tie dinner party at home (fall or winter - NYE maybe!!) I envision one long table with beautiful gold chargers, crisp white flowers, and customized menus for my guests. Think formal and chic - but warm and inviting on a cold winter night! Champagne would be flowing, dinner would be served with wine pairings from my husband (who wishes he was a sommelier) and I’d love an after-dinner martini bar to top it off. The night would not be complete without a party favor (small bottle of olive oil or champagne) for your guests to take home.

Any sweet treats at this fabulous fête? Oh, yes! Dessert is very important to me. I would serve Cannoli cake and gelato, to lean into my Italian roots…

What music would be playing? Frank Sinatra would be entertaining us all night long via Spotify.

What would you wear to this dream party? And now for the best party, what to wear! It’s no secret that I love an excuse to dress up. I would wear a long black Taller Marmo feather-trim gown, drawing Hollywood inspiration with the voluminous cape sleeve and draped design. An elegant yet striking silhouette with slight drama and detail. After all, as the host, you are allowed to be overdressed!

Any tips for taking the stress off hosting and setting the perfect party atmosphere? YOU set the tone! If you are stressed or not enjoying yourself, your guests feel it too! Be organized and prepared. Build a timeline, especially when serving dinner, and stick to it.
