Setting The Table For St. Patrick's Day

Although St. Patrick's Day doesn't technically land in spring, it's our first holiday where it feels like spring!
With shades of green as the focal point, using lot's of lush moss, natural greenery, and spring florals. It's time to set the table with a flair of the sprawling green hills of Ireland as your inspiration...


 Beside the beer, bacon and cabbage aspect of St. Patty's, the holiday is a serious tradition in Ireland that includes going to church in the morning and then having a feast in observance in the afternoon. So set the table accordingly for a full meal with the family! And as most of us in America don't celebrate St. Patrick's day as a religious holiday, it's still an excellent reason to share a meal with loved ones. After all there's no bad reason for sharing a meal!
We put together a few of our favorite St. Patrick's day tablescapes for inspiration for your feasting table.There's many different styles all featuring the traditional color of the holiday. Let us know which one is your favorite, and be sure to share your tablescapes with us on our facebook page!

Setting the Table

Thanksgiving is only a week away, and if your the one hosting the big event this year you might be beginning to panic. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday because it's really focused around a meal more then any other holiday, it's also one of the few times in the year when almost everyone pulls out the china and sets a gorgeous table! 



When it comes to setting the perfect holiday table everything from the centerpieces to the linen matters, it's all in the details. Your centerpieces are a great way to bring in color and texture to your table. You can also be creative with your centerpieceses and use fruits and sqaush, florals, leafs, feathers, sticks or even little nik naks from around the house. The color scheme you choose will really be impactful on the mood of your dinner as well. If you choose the colors in the bronze, gold, and burgundy family you'll create a very traditional feeling. Choosing unexpected color combos like aqua and brown are still earthy and appropriate for fall but are much more playful! For a simple and elegant feeling keep it contemporary with a monochromatic scheme.

 

Check out this handy diagram for setting your table properly for thanksgiving. This setting is for a formal meal that would involve multiple courses so if your eating family style with everything on the table at once don't worry about the salad plate/fork and you can get away with only one wine glass.



 As for the meal itself don't worry so much we've got you covered our chefs can make as much or as little as you want. Prepped and ready for pick up the night before. So you can sleep in, and enjoy your day with the family! With whole roasted turkeys, provolone potatoes, and fruity autumn salads who could ask for more.
