6 More Holiday Decorating Ideas

In our continuing series, "Holiday Entertaining," today we offer 6 more ideas for making your holiday gathering special. 

With these simple ideas, your guests will be wowed and you won't have spent more than a few minutes to give your holiday event or meal a special cool touch.

  • Quick centerpiece or accent--Fill a large silver bowl (we love the ones at Pottery Barn) with loose greenery and top with a pile of silver, red, gold, or blue glass Christmas balls
  • Put a gold or gold-accented runner on your table and arrange white pillar candles, set on gold or red candle stands, in the center of the runner
  • Set small wrapped gifts or ornaments with ribbon bows at each place setting--and don't bother with centerpieces
  • Write guests' names in gold ink on gift tags or leaves, then lay the tags or leaves at your place settings
  • To make your place settings look more festive in less than a minute, buy Hershey's Kisses in red and green wrappers and put one on each folded napkin at your place settings.  And you can also put small decorative bowls or even goblets with these chocolates to add holiday color (and sweetness) to each guest table
  • If you buy a dessert, make it more festive by putting a ring of fresh flower blooms around it or on its serving tray.  Or encircle beverage tubs, ice buckets, or displays of wine on your beverage station with fresh greenery

Enjoy!
