The entertaining season is in full swing and we entertain in our home quite often around the holidays. There is nothing I love more than sitting around a beautifully decorated table with family and friends and enjoying a meal together. I really believe a beautifully set table will set the tone for your meal and it also makes your guests feel extra special! I knew this season I wanted to use some of the beautiful tabletop items from Serena and Lily on my holiday table.

When I was selecting tabletop items from Serena and Lily I wanted to choose items that would be neutral enough for any time of the year. I chose neutral placemats and linen napkins for this reason. I knew that I could use these items any time of the year and would select a fun tablecloth from my linen closet for a pop of color. We set the table every evening for dinner, sometimes the island too! So I selected the round Catalonia Placemats in natural from Serena and Lily to layer over the tablecloth. I layered my dishes on top of the placemats to create some dimension on the the table surface. I love to layer and I also love clippings from the yard so I snipped some holly berry leaves to place on top of the Salento Napkins (in flax) for a little pop of festive color! I added in brass flatware and of course champagne!

There are so many other beautiful tabletop items from Serena and Lily, that I love to use when entertaining. The Cayman Seagrass Wrapped Pitcher is perfect for lemonade, iced tea, or water. I use this pitcher quite often as a vase for flowers! I also love using the Poetta Vase as a larger vase for big bouquet of hydrangeas or greenery. A marble lazy susan like the Millerton Lazy Susan is the perfect foundation for the center of your table, especially if it is round. I love having a lazy susan on our table, especially one this beautiful!

If you choose not to use a tablecloth the table runners are a gorgeous option and a good way to add some texture to your tabletop. I also love adding in candlelight and the carmel rattan taper holder would make a beautiful addition to any table, especially with colored taper Candles. I love the avocado color for Christmas! If you are looking to add a little fun to your tabletop I would recommend the Holiday Crackers! Our kids love these at any celebration or party!

I love working with Serena and Lily because the quality of their products is second to none. And, as a decorator, I’ve found that it’s so important to purchase quality pieces that will stand the test of time … I want my company to enjoy themselves and feel casually comfortable around my dining table and Serena and Lily’s style evokes just that: casual elegance.

I am looking forward to entertaining our family and friends this holiday season and I am so thankful to have been able to work with Serena and Lily to help me select the perfect tabletop pieces to help with this! When you have the right pieces setting the table is a piece of cake! Happy Entertaining!

Thank you Serena and Lily for partnering on this post and gifting these beautiful pieces. All opinions are my own.

It’s crazy to think that the Holidays are just around the corner! But I’m really looking forward to having family over for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. After these last couple of years, I’ve learned that it’s so important to appreciate the time you get to spend with loved ones. So, as I prepare for the holidays, I’m getting ready to host my own holiday dinners for the people in my life by gathering decor, linens, and my favorite dinnerware and utensils to set the table.

To help get you started with your prepping, this blue Jasmine tablecloth is a beautiful hand-blocked Indian design that works for both holidays. And make sure to add some of your favorite decor to dress up your table. One of my favorites is this island wrapped hurricane which I love using as a vase to hold fresh flowers or greens clipped from my yard.

Finding good, tapered candles can help make your dining room warm and inviting. These hand-dipped candles are dripless and long lasting, and these sage green rustic candles are perfect for setting a calm and cozy mood in the dining room.

Next, place your mats and eating utensils on the table. I love using neutral-colored placemats because they go with just about everything. This handwoven Catalonia placemat is the perfect piece to add beautiful texture to your table. Top them with these bamboo dinner plates paired with this set of bold brass flatware or this bamboo flatware set.

These embroidered floral block print napkins are great for using on special occasions or use these Salento linen napkins to give your dinner table a crisp and clean feel. Set a beautiful champagne glass, like this optical gold vietri champagne glass, next to your flatware to finalize your dinner table setup. This set of 4 everyday wine glasses is a great option if you’re needing to stock up for a big get-together.

Lastly, add your dinner essentials when everyone’s ready to gather at the table. Use these wicker salt and pepper shakers to add a little extra flavor to both your dishes and decor. And chill your favorite glass of wine or champagne in this gorgeous ginger jar champagne bucket.

Bring in the bar cart as you entertain your dinner guests, and enjoy those moments you get to spend connecting with the people you care about. Take this holiday season as slowly as you can because it’ll pass by you just as fast as it arrived.
