Elegance is served

For this elegant dinner party I veered from my usual floral arrangement centerpieces and created a lush garland centerpiece, layering faux green ivy garlands, Metallized Glass Vases, and sprinkling in plum colored faux florals and glass pumpkins. Rather than everyday pieces, I took out my fanciest china, including many beautiful Christofle.

I set my table using a mix of the Christofles’s heritage and modern designs. Christofle’s classic Malmaison flatware looks balanced when paired next to the more contemporary Vertigo candles sticks, creating a table that is both traditional and current.

I wanted to make a cocktail that complimented the rouge accent in my centerpiece, so I whipped up a large batch of crantini cocktails (recipe here). I left the cocktails out on the bar so guests could easily help themselves. Also note the cute tiered garnish tray. I love using fresh herbs and cranberries as decor!
