Holiday Tables from Our Readers

Thanks to everyone who entered our Holiday Table Setting Contest! While we’re deliberating over who the big winner is, we had to show off these great tables that were entered.

I pulled a little from here & there. The bird/butterfly dessert plates are from my mother’s family, and the yellow pottery dinner plates from Italy. The stemware is high/low. Crystal stems are Gianni Versace white hobnail is plastic from Martha Stewart. You might recognize the dinner napkins, custom designed by Gracious style.

In the picture you can see ribbon wrapped bundles. These are all the Christmas cards my family has ever received (I’ve saved every last one of them!). I bundle them up every year and use them to decorate our table. They are a wonderful conversion piece as most guests (at least during the dessert course) like to open a past year and look back at friends and family’s Christmas cards.

I purchased Vietri gold plates and paired them with my Wedgwood china. I also used Kim Seybert napkins with pearl and gold napkin rings.
