This week I’m bringing you some tips and picks for hosting a glamorous fete at home! Head to my blog A Vintage Splendor for more style and decor inspiration. —AV
When fall rolls around, I like to bring my dinner parties inside and turn up the glam factor. I also like to explore beyond the traditional colors of the season and opt for pretty pastels or bright hues since we can all agree that amber and sage do get old by the time Thanksgiving is here.
This inspired table setting has been sitting in my Pinterest “hostess” folder and I’ve been hoping to create the look for a girls’ dinner at my place. We can all agree that this setting is glamorous and sophisticated, but the good news is it’s very easy and affordable to recreate the look!
Classic white dinnerware will last you forever and can be mixed and matched with other dinnerware to keep it fresh, while the gold-rimmed wine glasses and flatware can dress up an otherwise casual dinner party. You can reuse all of these items by mixing in jeweled tone napkins and runner for a Bollywood inspired dinner or pastel gingham for a French inspired baby shower.
If you’re looking to splurge on one thing, I would recommend the gold flatware. I have rose gold flatware and every time we can guests, even the men complement the flatware. The gold flatware will elevate your hostessing game – I guarantee it!
The rest of the items are low-cost and can be found at your local Target dollar bin or Ikea. I usually find fun giftwrap in the dollar section that I use as runners for dinner parties. I then re-use the paper as a protective layer for crafting projects. These Ikea table lanterns are a savior for every type of party from showers to dinner to barbeques, plus they are under $4!
These are some of my tried and true tips and favorite picks that won’t disappoint. Instead of opting for orange, brown, and green tones this autumn, won’t you surprise your guests with a lovely dose of pink and mint?
1. Mint Chevron Giftwrap, $2.99
2. Gold Flatware Set, $59.99
3. Aspen Dinnerware Set, $3.95 – 34.95
4. Table Lantern, $3.99
5. Gold Rimmed Wine Glass (set of 4), $30.99
6. Pink Napkins (set of 12), $9.99
