Inspiration: One of my favorite sources for inspiration is "Hostess {with the mostess}"; www.hostessblog.com. I was especially drawn to the red & white themed parties showcased on Hostess With the Mostess so that was the color palette I chose to use for my party. I also decided to add a touch of green (through the christmas ornaments) to add a little visual interest to the table.
Décor: For this table I used two apothecary jars (one I filled with red and green christmas ornaments and the other I filled with candy canes and peppermint candies), red candle holders and styrofoam cones that I covered with red glitter glue.
Where I bought each item:
Candleholders: Crate & Barrel, Diaz Red Candleholder small
Red & Green Ornaments: CVS; www.cvs.com
Styrofoam Cones & Red Glitter: Michaels Arts & Crafts; www.michaels.com
Round Red Plates: Crate & Barrel, Delilah Red Plate; www.crateandbarrel.com
