Setting the Table: Tips from a Styling Expert

We’ve partnered with Kelly Allen, a San Francisco-based stylist, to bring you tips for setting your table with elegance and ease.

Tip #1 – Select a color palette and stick with it.
A unifying color palette allows you to play with textures and patterns that fit the theme while maintaining cohesion and harmony. Winter whites or creams provide a great jumping-off point.

Tip #2 – Add a little life to the table.
Get creative with your florals. Rather than conventional blooms, arrange a garland down the center of the table. Eucalyptus, fresh herbs, berries, and fruits such as pomegranates or pears bring organic beauty to the table.

Tip #3 – Incorporate meaningful pieces.
Weaving in family heirlooms or vintage pieces tells a story and invites conversation. You’re also sharing a personal connection with your friends and loved ones, fostering a special time of togetherness around the holidays.

Once your table’s been set in style, add the finishing touch of sparkle! Keep chilled bottles of your favorite bubbles at the ready, and dazzle those you hold dear with our luxurious holiday wine gifts. We’ve made the merry-making easy with 20% off all wine gifts for our Château Society Members.
