Modern Mood
A green and brown table can be a welcome departure from the traditional red and green of the season. Stylishly wrapped gifts serve as place cards.
Time to Sparkle
A holiday table with sparkle is as simple as adding low arrangements of red blooms and laying on the crystal stemware. A decorated mantelpiece contributes to the setting without cluttering the table.
Pattern Plays
Pull that holiday china out of the cupboard and use it often during this festive season. Layer it with your regular china for a lavish look.
Serene Setting
With green as the dominant color, this table is elegant but undeniably festive. A centerpiece of hydrangea blossoms arranged over greenery in the shape of a cake is a surefire conversation starter.
Flight of Fancy
Ornaments make great party favors. A clip-on bird with a feathery tail perches on an overturned compote. I love this idea.
Beautiful Berries
Cranberries aren't just for Thanksgiving. Mounded in a glass bowl, they can serve as a place-card holder.
