Decor
Nothing is more inviting than the sight of a festive wreath hung on your front door! You can even bring the outdoors in by hanging it on your dining room mirror to enjoy during feasts!
Holiday decor is not just about sight but also scent! Breathe in that nostalgic fresh smell of pine by using an abundance of candles. You can never have too many candles, in my opinion. And it adds that cozy ambiance to your holiday party.
Incorporate warm and cheery colors with a floral arrangement centerpiece. Dahlias, anemones, ranunculus, and amaranthus are some of the many flowers that are in season.
A table runner is a definite holiday party must-have. This decorative cloth gives the dinnerware and table decor a cohesive flow. Not to mention, they’re so easy and affordable to switch in and out throughout the seasons.
Starters
Serve your meats and cheeses in style! These gorgeous agate boards are an elegant step up from the popular marble cutting boards, making them party-worthy.

Dinner

The Christmas tree is not the only thing that can bling up the holidays! Bling up your table settings with modern metallic napkin rings. Napkin presentation is fairly underrated and can really be the cherry on top of a beautiful holiday table setting.
