Hello everyone!
I'm already thinking about the upcoming Holidays, Thanksgiving & Christmas. I love Holidays! First, the world (for the most part) gets to celebrate these important dates.... & two, we get to DECORATE our homes for entertaining!
Dinner parties can be so much fun...!
For myself, I prefer to keep the guest list at about 5-6 people at my place - just feels more intimate.
What about you.. do you prefer bigger parties??

Speaking of parties...Since Gold is so IN this year, I was thinking it would be ideal to pick some of my favorite party pieces & revolve it around the color GOLD! Below are all my picks if you're looking to spruce up your dining table for a party! Enjoy!
Any of you planning on having a party at home this year for the Holidays??

Lovely inspiration here! Ahhh... party planning... I haven't planned anything yet but I am with you in that I like smaller gatherings. Less stress too! I will be attending a few dinners and teas this Fall that I'm really looking forward to as well. Hope you're having a great day.

My most favorite is the gold flatware. I have been obsessing about them since I saw them on blogland a few months ago! They are so chic, luxe and elegant at the same time, who does't want that?
ReplyDeleteGreat picks, Jen!
Have a lovely day!

The DVF is stunning, would be gorgeous with the leopard. Lush!
ReplyDeleteLove the gold-edged cups etc, so chic. I love entertaining but am currently living in a tiny SF studio - my options are either very casual get togethers where I make chili or something else self-serve that can sit on the stove, or small dinners for 4 max. Both are fun, but can't wait to live somewhere with more entertaining space again! :)
ReplyDeleteI want that cocktail set! All the gold pieces are awesome... I'm so in love with metallic anything right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with everything gold! Love the leopard cocktail napkins too... so chic!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought that far ahead, but we probably will have people over. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! Love those napkins rings.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful colors for the holidays!
ReplyDeletegood night!

I'm obsessed with that gold cutlery! I want to have a dinner party just so I can use it. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I so love the Z Gallerie pieces and the leopard placemats. And I agree with you. I prefer to keep my dinner parties on the more intimate side :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the gold! Great accent to use for Thanksgivig and Xmas. I'm still on Halloween though...just dreamed up my ideas for my ultimate Halloween dining table on the blog yesterday...check it out...I went for black and white chic!
ReplyDeleteI want everything you displayed here for my next dinner party! I am so into gold right now especially the flatware!

i love the gold flatware! actually, i love gold anything...so happy that it's finally back in style! most of our "small" get togethers end up being around 25+ people simply because our group is so big! i love the idea having a really formal small dinner party :)
ReplyDeleteI love a nice shot of gold for the holidays! Thanks for commenting on my lego blog post. Wouldn't that be a fun one to make but I would have to put it under glass as I wouldn't have the heart to ever take it apart! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI adore your blog. And I love that you are already thinking about the holidays. There are such a fun time of year--why not spend time planning and enjoying all the beautiful decor early. I love the DVF tabletop items and the glasses you have our totally gorgeous! Great Post!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just started a new blog and would love to hear what you think if you have a moment sometime. Its www.interior-notions.com
LOVE the DVF gold flatware and the Z Gallerie glasses you have !! Perfect for the holidays !

Got to love the leopard print cocktail napkins
ReplyDeleteOh my, the mr & mrs cocktail glasses; I DIE!
ReplyDeleteI (well, my husband and I) are hosting both of our immediate family members + some others for Thanksgiving this year (a way to switch things up from every other year at my parents' house - and after losing two grandparents this year, we felt it might make a nice (happy) difference in traditions). With all that being said (and knowing that my husband and I like decorating and entertaining together), is it bad that we may go the "plastic ware" route with so many people? And do you have any good recommendations for sprucing up a (for lack of a better word) 'easier' table-scape? Comments & suggestions are more than welcome & appreciated! Thx, Meredith (www.lafamiliajewell.blogspot.com)
ReplyDeleteThose are some really nice items. The gold makes things stand out.
ReplyDeleteSo fun, these gold items would be great for the upcoming holidays AND New Years! Those Mr & Mrs glasses were definitely cute.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love the gold plates from Z Gallerie and I love the Mr & Mrs cocktail glasses.
