Holiday Entertaining with Local Love

Holiday Entertaining with Local Love

The holiday season is in full swing, and I’m embracing my inner hostess by throwing lots of parties, big and small! We recently moved at the end of January, and it’s been a labor of love (mostly by my interior designer, Shazalynn Calvin-Winfrey of SCW Interiors) to get the house in hosting condition. She would call us “85% there,” which for me is more than enough, but I am a party girl at heart.

Something new to me has been setting a proper table for a party. I wanted to set a beautiful holiday tablescape using both what I already had and some new elements from local shops. In addition, I hired the incredible Ashley Prime of Layered Company to do some holiday decor (she helped source a lot of what is on my table, and did the entire Christmas tree featured!) The amount of talent is so apparent.

I’m so excited to share the details of this tablescape with you. There are so many incredible items from local shops that made the table come to life.

Special thanks to Igda Warner Photography for capturing these photos.
