Philippine Tatler – August 2018

(ff) #1

In addition to being his personal


sanctuary, this abode was also built for


entertaining. Bullard confesses that he


particularly enjoys having small groups


of eight to 10 guests over for dinner.


“Although I personally can’t cook, I love to


create beautiful tablescapes and make the house


special for guests to enjoy,” the consummate host
reveals. “I have favourite chefs we bring in to
conjure seasonal menus, and I match cocktails
and ambience to the food choices.”
Bullard’s ideal guest list also reflects his
sentiments on creating the perfect interiors—he
always mixes things up to keep them interesting.
“My list includes old and new friends, and
clients—always an eclectic group, which I believe
keeps the parties exciting and the group engaged,”
he reveals. “I mix in age groups for varied
opinions and people from different walks of life
to provide fascinating conversation. I often invite
one new person or couple that no one else knows
to bring some intrigue into the mix. Just like a
cocktail, the result is a perfectly delicious blend
of flavours.”

“I MIX AGE GROUPS


FOR VARIED OPINIONS


[AND] ONE NEW


PERSON TO BRING [IN]


SOME INTRIGUE...”
