Fall into Entertaining

Two inspirations for the perfect holiday tabletop this fall – one casual, one formal, both fabulous.

It’s Easy Being Green
Embrace the cooler colors of the fall and winter seasons without falling into an old-fashioned holiday rut by putting a refreshing spin on your tabletop – This silver, green and cream color scheme is perfect for a casual luncheon or dinner party, and the Louisiana-centric oyster accents are perfect for local flair. Small autumn accents such as leaves and acorns are timely and charming. Holiday settings don’t have to be gilded and heavy – embrace the whimsical side of the season!

A Saint-sational Setting
In celebration of everyone’s favorite season – Saints football season – this elegant but fun setting works for a dinner party, Saints-themed brunch or even an upscale game day celebration! Since we all bleed black and gold, use those classic colors as a base for a crisp and modern tabletop, including Southern touches like a fleur-de-lis or alligator accent. Add some shimmer this holiday season as “our boys” give us more reasons to celebrate!
