Holiday Tablescaping Tips for the Season!

The countdown has begun for you to start planning your holiday party! Now is the time to start thinking of ideas to create a beautiful tablescape to impress your family and friends. We are here to help with some pro-tips and ideas for you to try!

First, it is important to decide on your style. The best part of figuring out your holiday tablescape is that there is no wrong answer! The holidays are the perfect time to be as extra as you want. 

Here are a few different looks we put together!

The Golden Hour

The ‘golden look’ is perfect if you want to brighten your table along with the faces of your guests. Our pro-tip for doing a look with one main color: make sure to incorporate different textures so that the table can really stand out. Bonus pro -tip! You can use ornaments as an inexpensive place card option!

The Midnight Lights

This look is great for intimate gatherings. Our pro-tip for this look is to add plenty of tealight candles and shimmering décor (like the sequin runner that we included) to create that romantic feel.

Traditional Holiday Feels

When it comes to decorating for the holidays, there is nothing wrong with sticking to the classics! After all, a big part of the holidays is traditions. For this look, our pro-tip is to decorate your table with décor that you probably already have around your house, such as using greenery & ornaments for your centerpieces. 

The Light & Bright

If you are someone who prefers to keep it simple when it comes to your holiday tablescaping, but still want to dress up your table a little, adding a table runner with a fun pattern is the perfect solution and our tablescaping pro-tip. 
Most importantly, make sure you have fun with your holiday party and enjoy the day with your family and friends. Also, don’t forget if you want to spend less time in the kitchen, you can place your holiday order through us by heading to our website Truecuisine.com!

1. Guest Count & Venue The first area we must address is the guest count and your venue requirements. Depending on your venue, you will have to adjust your guest count while of course following the state guidelines. From there- we can get planning! Moving from a venue to your private residence? No problem! If you are using True Cuisine & Sweet Baby Ray’s as your catering vendor, we adjust to your venue with no problem. Here are some general areas to consider when adjusting to a new venue: Guest seating / overall new floor plan Food service style Menu & Bar Custom décor These areas will be explained next! 2. Floor plan Planning your floor plan can be tricky for micro weddings as we are still enforcing social distancing as much as possible- even at private residences! Limiting tables to 6 guests each is one way to enforce social distancing during dinner service. Allowing for as much space as possible between each guest table is also important for social distancing. If you are working with different rooms or a backyard- we make it work!
