The table is set, the candles are lit, and your roast is cooking away. But while that delicious dinner might smell spectacular in your kitchen, do you have the right tools to bring it to the table? Don’t overlook these five essential host-helpers:
Flatware: From cake knives to salad sets, the right utensils get all your delicacies safely from platter to plate. Make sure each dish has at least one large serving piece, or use several if the dish is messy or contains small morsels. Have plenty of spoons and ladles for any sauces and liquids, and sharpen your carving knives for clean and easy slicing.
Bowls and Platters: You can never have too many serving dishes, especially if any guests intend to bring their favorite treats to share. If you are serving your meal family style, many dinnerware collections offer options for matching your serveware to your place settings. For a more collected look, mix and match a variety of styles, and don’t forget different sizes: your pumpkin pie and turkey gravy won’t need the same type of dish!
Pitchers: Be sure to have several options to choose from, especially if you’re serving wine or spirits. Have water easily accessible for guests to help themselves, and consider a fun option like sparkling apple cider in a colorful carafe if you have little ones at your table.
Dessert: No party would be complete without a bevy of treats to satisfy your sweet tooth! From pie pans to cake stands, there are a variety of ways to present your desserts. To be sure that each slice is cut to perfection, have cake knives and servers ready for any cakes, torts, or pies. For a lasting impression, display smaller desserts such as cookies or candies on a dramatic two- or three-tiered server, like these glamorous ones from L’Objet:
Coffee and Tea: At the end of a grand meal, there’s nothing like the warmth and rich aroma of a hot nightcap. Whether you serve coffee or prefer tea, both are often accompanied by sugar and cream, and don’t forget those darling spoons for stirring! If you’re using a matching set of cups and saucers, consider using some slightly larger plates in the same style to serve biscuits or cookies to munch or dunk!

Taking a turn from tradition, the folks at Mothermag.com put their heads together to create a tabletop that is super fun and colorful. Using our delightfully versatile Jars Tourron Jade Dinner Plates, a bright Modern Fiesta scene came to life. Here, we share some of stylist Natalie Bowen’s tips on creating this fun and festive look in your own home…
“If your napkins don’t match, don’t worry. Mixing bright hues and prints in the napkins—and all over the table—adds to the colorful, fiesta feel, perfect for birthday parties, baby showers, and the like.”
“Using a statement coaster adds a nice finishing touch, as does an assortment of vintage, mis-matched silverware.”
“Use fresh mint or herbs from the grocery store or your own garden as part of the floral decor topping the plates.”
“We love the “fiesta” theme, because almost anything goes when it comes to the color palette. This is a real opportunity to use several of your favorite flowers for an awe-inspiring centerpiece or smaller arrangements.”
A special thanks to Mothermag.com for these stunning images!

After our recent trip to visit Peter Marino’s new Chanel stores in Paris, we’ve been seeing gold everywhere. But this time around, it’s more chic and textural. The trick? Find a softer gold that’s infused with champagne, so it feels warm and organic. You want to bring just enough luster into a room to make it come alive, but not so much that it feels overdone.
Here are three ways to do it:
1. Combine gold with neutrals.
2. Combine gold with faded antiques.
3. Combine gold with anything exotic.

The holidays are a time for family and friends to come together. To maximize your time spent with loved ones, keep things simple! If you are hosting, use these five quick tips to ensure you and your guests have a meaningful and memorable season.
1. Keep things simple. Set the table with stain-resistant or easy care linens. This will allow for less mess, and quicker clean up, especially if you are hosting several meals in a short time.
2. Let guests help themselves. When you have visitors from out of town, keep snacks easily available. Put a bowl of fresh apples on your table, or add a candy dish to your counter for those with a sweet tooth.
3. Cater to the kids. If you are expecting little ones to join in the festivities, have some durable tableware handy that won’t require constant supervision. Try glamorous silhouettes and jewel tones to make drinkware feel all grown up.
4. Add a soft scent. Keep closets and drawers in the guest room fresh for visitors with a light, natural scent. From inviting rose to woodsy cedar, sachets will ensure a low-maintenance source of fragrance that will last all season.
5. Stay toasty. Make sure your guests feel a warm welcome by having throws ready in every room.
