Fashion vs. Furniture: The Holiday Edition

'Tis the season for time with family, heavenly smells from the kitchen, and a vacation from work and school. 'Tis also the time for chaotic buying sprees, house cleaning frenzies, and overeating. Holidays: love 'em and hate 'em. Why not have a little fun this year? Fashion is fun and that can translate to a fun tablescape. Take some inspiration from Fall 2008 Couture and create a beautiful table for your guests!

Organic Eating: Simple, natural materials create an elegant setting- no special materials needed. Tablescape photo via Coco + Kelley. Dress by Anne Valerie Hash.

A Touch of Gold: A little sparkly on the table is always welcome. Martha Stewart perfects it with gilded pears. Coordinate it with a little bling on yourself. Coat by Christian Lacroix.

Wild Holiday: Who says you can only use red and green at your holiday table? A splash of hot pink is unexpected and festive. Tablescape photo via Totally Tabletops. Dress by Givenchy.

Textural: Mixing textures is an easy way to add depth to an otherwise simple table. I love the homemade felt holly napkin rings from Martha Stewart! Dress by Alexis Mabille.

Woodland Escape: Natural color and plantlife will be your inspiration. Bring the warmth of the outdoors to your table and make sure you have a roaring fire going! Tablescape via Martha Stewart. Dress by Elie Saab.

Winter Wonderland: This one is my absolute favorite. It's more fantasy than reality, but how could I resist a snowy confection fit for the Snow Queen herself? You can still take inspiration from it and decorate your table in snow white hues. Tablescape photo via Coco + Kelley. Dress by Christian Dior.
