Christian Siriano is ready to watch the 2021 Emmys Awards Show, and he has some tips and tricks to make our own watch parties amazing. From the perfect small bites to the wines we need on hand, Siriano is here to make our Emmys night a true experience.
Considering the designer is known for his red carpet ready looks and his ability to be inclusive when it comes to dressing women, it makes sense that we love Christian Siriano. So, to know that he is offering his own ideas for how to host an at-home Emmys party meant that we couldn’t resist getting all the details.
And whether it is sharing his ideas for what makes a good finger food to picking the right wine pairings, here is a star who knows how to make all of us feel like we are at the big show.
Here are some of Christian Siriano’s Emmy watch party tips and ideas
- Wine is key to any epic Emmys party. And according to the press email we received, his “go-to white is Sterling Vineyards Vintner’s Collection Chardonnay.” He also recommends making sure to have both red and white wines on hand, and dishes to pair with each wine. And considering Sterling Vineyards is the official wine of the actual Emmys, it just makes sense to turn to them to get our sip on.
- While we all agree that wine (whether from Sterling Vineyards or not) is at the top of our must have list, flowers are another must have for a decorative table. Fresh, local flowers are your best choice, but even if that means heading to a grocery store, there is nothing wrong with that at all.
- Make it feel like an occasion. Bring out the nice platters, set up your table for people to feel special, while also making everything look visually appealing. Add depth and elevation with your foods, whether they are finger foods or even something more substantial.
- A cheese board is always a nice choice, especially if you are going with more of a finger food approach. Other options for what to offer guests includes crab cakes, sliders, chocolates, crostinis and even meats. One of Christian Siriano’s favorites (at least in terms of those sweet treats) is none other than chocolate covered strawberries!
Honestly, we love anything that can elevate our awards show watch parties to the next level. And if that means stocking up on bottles of wine or making sure there are plenty of cheeses and other easy to eat foods on hands, then we are here for it.
