Set (the table) To Impress.

If you’ll be gathering for a meal with friends or family, why not have some fun with your tablescape?

Festive table decor can serve as a fun, low stakes way to flex your creative muscles and make your guests feel especially welcome. Here are just a few ideas to get you started: 

Bring the Outdoors In

For an affordable and sustainable way to decorate, think about bringing nature-inspired elements to your tabletop. Swags of evergreen and eucalyptus, red berries, and fresh flowers come together for a truly stunning table – all without breaking the bank or adding to the existing clutter of your home.

Let There Be Light

One must-have for an impactful and beautiful tablescape? Candles! Consider mixing together lots of tea lights in votives, tapers and candlesticks, and any other candles/vessels you might have laying around or could easily source at the thrift store or elsewhere. Pro tip: Be sure to burn unscented candles, so as to not overwhelm your guests senses or distract from the meal you’ve spent ages cooking for them.

Make the Most Of What You Have!

Don’t feel the need to shop for new items when hosting. Just dig into your existing dish- and serveware offerings. Your plates, napkins, and glasses will feel festive when set out nicely and other decor is thoughtful-arranged.

Make It Personal

Add a small, personalized touch to your table so that each guest feels cared for and warmly welcomed. This could be anything from a small gift to a pre-set drink you know they love, a handwritten card to a place setting featuring their name. This touch doesn’t have to be large, expensive, or fancy! It just needs to make your guests feel special and well cared for.
