Vintage Hostess: Christmas Entertaining

Holly Jolly Outdoor Entertaining

Its here, that magic time of year. I have a carol in my ear and my home is filled with red and green decorations. Christmas is the time to surround yourself with friends, family, and fun. To me, there is no better way to do that than to have everyone. As you may know, I love entertaining on our back deck. We are fortunate to have lots of shade and a large backyard.

In the summer I purchased the most adorable vintage holly dinner napkins and table cloth. I was so excited to use them. The colors are so vibrant! I adore vintage dinner napkins, fun fact I try not to leave the house without a dinner napkin in my purse- because you never know! Trust me! I have never said to myself my goodness i’m so mad I brought my dinner napkin, because it literally comes in so handy. Hey maybe one day I will start my own line of dinner napkins to my Etsy store!

For any of my table settings, I try to incorporate vintage items mixed with modern pieces. For this particular table I incorporated my vintage green goblets, vintage holly china, and vintage dinner napkins. The moderns elements include the most wonderful centerpiece! This centerpiece is from The Traveling Florist. Joeylynn is amazing and was so fun to work with on this set up. The Traveling Florist also provided the white Christmas trees and the garland. You can follow TheTravelingFlorist here! Love the red cups? Don’t worry you can own them! They are from Target and were a gift from my wonderful friend Cindy from MommyandNannyHighlife. She is a dream and her instagram is so fun, you should absolutely follow her. Next time my boyfriend asks for a red cup (he will be meaning a red solo cup) I am going to hand him this darling cup!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season. Thank you so much for reading along. I hope you have been inspired to Do It Yourself or Treat Yourself - Stylin Brunette
