Holiday Entertaining Ideas
Change It Up
For this seasonal gathering, event planner Rachel Hollis toasts colorful wares from L’Objet’s new Fortuny collection by creating a knockout environment that dazzles with festive jewel tones and gold—staples that anchor conventional holiday ambience. “It doesn’t take very long for families to become sentimentally attached to holiday traditions,” explains Hollis. “A simple change like a new accent plate can add a different dimension without offending anyone.”
From the Fortuny collection, whose salad plates come in four vibrant colors, Hollis selected blue and green with gold accents. Dinner plates with a textural scale motif and white chargers rest atop a mélange of shimmery textiles, ranging from a basket-weave tablecloth and thin corduroy-like placemats to napkins adorned with opulent trims and tassels. “Strasbourg” sterling flatware is from Replacements. “Maori” salad plate, “Aegean” dinner plate, and pinecone salt-and-pepper shakers; all from L’Objet. Pewter pinecone from Four Seasons Design Group.
