Using my wedding china, Herend’s Chinese Bouquet in Rust, Royal Stemware by Moser, a light grey Savanah Gardens tablecloth and…

Today’s Tablescape is for the little ones! These photos are from the gingerbread house decorating party that my daughter, Millie, hosted for her friends a few years ago. The sweet little aprons were from a fabulous Etsy maker and they served as the party favors for each of the little guests. Oh what fun! Click…

I created this tablescape last Christmas for a collaboration with Meri Meri. I used their wonderful wooden advent calendar pieces in the center of the table, their “crackers” at each place setting and their charming nutcracker gift tags as place cards tied to each napkin. It was so much fun to fill the center…

I have always loved mixing and matching China patterns. This table is a great example of that. I used Herend Rust Bouquet tureens to hold flowers in the center of the table and layered Bernadaud Chargers, Herend’s Livia Dinner Plates and Rust Bouquet Crescent Salad Plates. The crystal is one of my favorite patterns, Royal…

Why not invest in a classic Canton Blue and White Pattern and pair it with green linens for a magical holiday look! These pieces by Mottahedeh can be used all year long! I also love the special pieces available in this pattern, like the salt cellars included here or the crescent salads that add such…

This tablescape is inspired by a collection that my mother and I have assembled over many Christmas’s. Every year, Versace designs and releases a new Christmas Themed Service Plate and my mother, every year, puts one under the tree for me. I have collection going back to 1998 and this seemed like a great time to use…
