Gatherings Magazine- Fall 2011

I love to have a party at the holidays. I also like to explore how other cultures celebrate the holidays and mix in a little of the eclectic. Greens don’t always need to be deep and traditional. Reds can be more coral and light as well. Pink and sage can be a lovely way to celebrate a more romantic side to the holidays.

While deep crimson mixed with a caravan of colors can evoke a ”Moroccan” warmth to the winter. Explore mixing gold and sliver accents by combing your favorite tabletop pieces on the table. You can also use motifs such as angels and crests to create a sophisticated regal like table setting. The more you mix and match the better, make it your own personal style.
