4 Tips to Add Flair to Your Holiday Event

In our continuing blog series, "Holiday Entertaining," today we offer 4 tips from this year's best trends for holiday entertaining.

• Use distinctive glassware--Distinctive glassware immediately stands out.  Colored stemware, flutes for wines AND champagne, square low tumblers, and oversized martini glasses are hip this year
• Use distinctive flatware--Whether your style is traditional or contemporary, use distinctive flatware, even if you use paper plates and napkins.  If you'll be renting flatware, inquire about some of the more interesting designs, or for a splurge luxury department stores have the most beautiful flatware that can be used for years to come.
• Buy beautiful, not plain white, napkins--Available at better department stores and stationery shops. 
• Add color to your buffet table--a red printed or pale green solid or printed runner or linen adds a special touch.  We avoid solid red and bright or emerald green table linens as they rarely look stylish.  Add some red Christmas balls on pale green or gold Christmas balls on pale green or red printed, or to make your color touches pop, use a white tablecloth with greenery and red or gold Christmas balls.  Avoid just putting food on a buffet table without any other decoration--this looks too plain, and the holidays are the easiest time of year to decorate a buffet table because people often have extra Christmas balls around that can be put into service.

Enjoy!
