Add a Touch of Style to Your Serving Table

It has always been popular to use a buffet table or serving table for Holiday Parties. It is more informal and allows the guests to mingle in comfort. You want your buffet table to make a statement and to be visually pleasing as well as functional. The centerpiece will set the theme and add a more pulled together look. Who knows better than Martha Stewart, so we have borrowed some tips from her for the holiday buffet table.

 1. Choose dishes that can be cooked ahead and warmed for serving, or dishes that can be assembled at the last minute.

2. Position the buffet table away from the wall, so that guests have access from all sides.

3. A few days before Thanksgiving, take out serving pieces and utensils for each dish. Map out what will go where, to be sure that it all fits neatly on the table.

4. Mix and match coordination dishes and serving plates.

5. Protect your linens by placing empty saucers around the table so guests can rest serving utensils on them and not on the tablecloth.

6. Lay out food in a logical order: entrees before side dishes.

7. Save space for food by displaying low arrangements

Table Centerpieces for Holiday Parties

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and gathering together. It is the one holiday that evolves solely around food and the table. To add a more festive touch to the decor of your home we suggest the addition of an Autumn wreath to your front door or your entry hall. The staff at the Holly Berry will work with you to find the silk flowers and foliage that compliments your colors.  

The Thanksgiving table is the centerpiece of the Holiday, keep the decoration simple, rather it is elegant or woodsy. The floral arrangement for the center should be low, as not to hide guests, and in the warm colors of the season. This is a great opportunity to use a vintage gravy boat or other mismatched piece of china for a vase. At The Holly Berry we encourage our customers to bring in their vases and we create the perfect fresh flower (or silk) arrangement in it. 303-674-4821

TO DO: Send flowers to MOM, to thank her for all the Thanksgiving dinners she cooked for you!

Custom Designs (the "fly swatter")

"Mom and Dad" were in town to help with the move. The movers continually left the doors open and soon the house filled with flies. This became a source of aggravation and humor throughout the day. The young family are settled into their new home and "Mom and Dad" have returned home and wanted to send a special house warming bouquet. They asked The Holly Berry if they could add a fly swatter to the arrangement. The staff at The Holly Berry is known for custom designs and customer service. 

Now finding a fly swatter in November in Evergreen is another story!
