Setting the Scene...

*All images to be identified after Christmas

It has come upon us so quickly this year and it is here! The most important part of the table is not what is on it, but who is around and who is not around it, but breaks our hearts because we wish they were. Even if the table top is bare, the best accessory/decoration on any table (hands down) is the love felt by everyone filling the seats. I hope everyone cherishes the memories!

Merry Christmas Eve!...

Well, as promised (to Jenn and Alicia!) a post on table settings. There are so many fun things you can do with the table. If you have a standard rectangular one I suggest a center focus that is not too high and an even spread down either side. This can be accomplished with fresh greenery. I love white lilies at a Christmas table mixed with the greenery. Throwing pine cones, ornaments and candles in the mix always ups the ante! I love having a nice place card with a small gift or ornament as the holder. I am also a fan of greenery sprigs tied into the napkin ring or string. I hope this helps! Happy table setting! And Jenn - you just get the goods and I'll be there next week to execute!

Happy Week before Christmas Friday everyone!...
