With the holidays right around the corner, we look forward to an opportunity to celebrate. Holiday festivities are the perfect excuse to be over the top with glitz and glamor or subtle sentiment. We look at three different ways to decorate with style and grace. For all things sophistication, we call on Sheryl from Arabesque of Naples on 5th Avenue South as our leading lady for etiquette and style.
With attention to detail, underscoring the connection of family during the holidays, our first look focuses on the creativity of youth. With generational crafts, collected over decades, the neutral China of Casafina, Portugal, allows the focus to be placed on the pops of color. Sentimental place card holders crafted by her granddaughter and napkin rings put together by her daughter, the clean tones of the linens and stemware, set off the colors of imagination showcasing talent on a blank canvas. Personalized a menu and add chocolates to take home.
To bring in the feeling of joy, holiday colors influence the second look with Floridian flare. With a Citrus Green Waterford crystal goblet, we cheer to the holiday with a matching Costa Nova, leaf plate. Gold embellishments set the tone for good manners and meaningful table talks. As guests linger a little longer around the holiday table, let them enjoy holiday matchboxes to light candles and favor candies to savor with coffee and after-dinner drinks.
Our third look has you serving dinner on a classic monogram and pouring a glass of Port that breaths easily center stage. With stylish flatware and personalized China sets, Arabesque loves the ability to make a gift of fine China an emotional experience with the ability to attach a permanent note on the back of each plate. No matter the holiday, the feeling of togetherness, camaraderie, and care make the look.
