It's the most wonderful time of the year! For me, this is my favorite holiday....hands down!  We are all busy shopping and preparing for our holiday celebrations. A lot of us are thinking about our holiday tabletop decor. What kind of place settings that we will use and the colors of our holiday theme. Will it be the traditional green and red or will be it be blue and silver for our Hanukkah celebrants or will you go out on a limb and try something new and different for your color theme?

My company recently did a Holiday Networking Soiree at Private Stay by MadlyLiving. The owner of the bed & breakfast wanted a black, silver, gold, white & cream colortheme for the event. I quickly teamed up with my friend Kelly Ann Downes of Select Event Rentals, who sponsored all the rentals for the event.

For the table setting above we choose a Shantung Silver tablecloth and overlay it with a Bash White overlay. The Bash White overlay is a new linen that Select has for the holidays and it is absolutely gorgeous. The crystal and beads give the tablecloth a beautiful sparkle that fits in  with any winter theme. For the base plate I choose a 12" Silver Beaded charger and topped it with Orleans dinner and salad plate. The silverware belongs to MadlyLiving and it blended beautifully with the design. The napkins are also Shantung Silver and I tied them with a Silver Gem napkin ring. I brought out the black in the plates and accented the design with Pache Black stemware, which rounded out the design.

For centerpieces, I use a base plate/charger called  Silver Saturn, placed a Crystal Silver Lamp in the middle and loaded it up with snowflakes. I then topped the snowflakes with different silver and white ornaments. This helped to make the table sparkle more and lend to the winter  theme.

On the side buffet where the cocktails were served, I added a silver, gold, cream & white runner and placed a fruited silver centerpiece with white candles in the middle.

Dior Silver Pintuck linens adorn the two 36' round tables that flanked the dining table on either side. From there we served up our delicious holiday buffet and desserts.

After you have decided on your holiday color theme this year, then visit Select Event Rentals website, where you can create your tabletop design with their amazing online tools. From there, you can visit their showroom in Laurel, MD and order and pickup your rentals.
