TABLE & DINE
A more sophisticated selection in your tableware might be more your thing. Classic, modern, artisanal, or organic are all wonderful tablescapes you can create. I saw this artisanal plate set and it reminded me of a partridge in a pear tree, but presented in a very biophilic way.

Maybe the holidays bring about family traditions you would like to improve. Sometimes, looking at your history can inspire adding a new style or embellish an existing. Not only does this fuel your creative juices, but it is an opportunity to build new narratives.

Here’s an idea; Instead of table seating cards, use a small photo of each family member in a special frame. Something they can have as a gift when they leave.
I have, from time to time, enjoyed the royal treatment, you know, the Downton Abbey effect, but without the staff. A sense of grandeur that most people only do during the holidays, so this style is perfect for the season and over-the-top is fun! Get out your china, silver, and crystal that hides away in the buffet cabinet all year long, and enjoy dining in luxury with family and friends. Chances are they have not had many royal dining experiences during the year either, so make it all the more wonderful.

An elegant holiday table is something to behold and admire. Family and friends will see the care and attention you have put into making them feel special, and that your time together is important to you.

Be it modern or traditional, setting the table is a sheer delight in my book. It is a chance to experiment. I like to mix styles and periods, new color combinations and flower arrangements. Make it like your own fun treasure hunt for the holidays by finding and incorporating the unexpected.
