My Holiday Table

 

 

 
Instead of our regular 5’o’clock dinner on the couch, I decided to spice it up a bit and get creative. I think it’s important to switch it up for an intimate date night. Here’s my secret recipe! 😉
 
– 1 patio table covered in a white linen tablecloth
– 2 green leafy branches cut from our tree in the backyard
– 2 candlesticks & 4 smaller candles
– Kate Spade dish set from Lenox 
– Water and wine glasses
– 2 personalized calligraphy place cards by the talented Jess Gatlyn of Bohemian Ink 
– 1 handsome husband! (sold separately..hehe) 😉
 
I thought it would be hard but it was honestly so fun to set up! It definitely helped that I had some new dishes and glasses from Lenox to set the table 🙂 I actually didn’t know how to properly set a table, so I did some research and got inspo from Pinterest and found it to be pretty quick and easy!
 
Whether you’re setting a table for two or for a group, here are a few tips to make your arrangement look spectacular:
 

 
1. Figure out your theme. Since it’s the holidays, I was able to nail down colors and patterns to really give that holiday vibe.
 

 
2. Don’t overcrowd! No need to use every single nice dish that you have. Simplify and make it elegant!
 
3. Personalize. Find a cute font online or take a nice pen and make place cards with each guests’ name.
 

 
4. Color scheme. I like to keep mine simple (blue, white, a little green). Whatever your preference, just be sure to keep it to under 3 colors so it’s easy on the eyes!
