Festive Table Ideas

My holiday table is always a last minute scramble.  A mad search to find all of my stuff.  Hidden somewhere (by me) in the back of a closet or a bin in the basement.

This year, I was asked to create a tablescape for a fun local event in the company of some amazing designers.  Panic!

These designers are the real deal.  Professional, creative, successful.  Where is all of my STUFF???????

I agonized over this ~ digging around my house, stores and Pinterest for ideas…

Ultimately, I (sort of) pulled it together.  Here are some of the incredible tablescapes my fellow designers did.  Absolutely gorgeous!

  
Some of the tables were set for a meal, while others were based on creative concepts like Cocktails in the Library, Ski Holiday, or Christmas in Virginia.

    
Doesn’t this get you in the holiday mood?

I went with a red and white motif for my table of two.

  
I had a tablecloth and napkins made from a bright Duralee fabric.  Two little myrtle topiaries were my touch of green.

  
Martinis and chocolate, just my type of dinner!

I found the little plaid plates and the dachshund salt & pepper shakers at Target.

Juliska dinner plates and my great-grandmothers silver.

Smith & Hawken shaved wood red tree in the middle of the table.

My favorite stemless crystal wine glasses.

   
I had a wonderful time designing for and attending the LGC event in Rye.
