Wow your guests this holiday season with a simple, elegant, budget-friendly tablescape.

Budgets tighten up when the holidays roll around… between buying gifts, throwing parties, vacationing and taking time off work, your decoration budget may be small or even nonexistent. Don’t let a small bankroll add to your holiday stress! No need to break the bank, be resourceful, use things around the house… you’ll be surprised how your tablescape will come together. Remember to have fun. It’s not about how much money goes into your tablescape but more about the creativity. Your friends and family will appreciate the time and care that went into the finished product more than an expensive, elaborate set up.

Simplest things like personalizing wine glasses can serve multiple purposes — you can use them as place-cards so that your guests have assigned seating, also, use them in place for wine glass charms so the drinks don’t get mixed up and more importantly your guests will feel extra special!

Tie a whimsical ornament in place of expensive napkin rings. It’ll be a great conversation starter.

Here is a simple yet elegant centerpiece… I borrowed some holiday ornaments from my Christmas tree and a silver snack boat that I had sitting on one of my end tables.

Last but not least, a gorgeous Holiday cocktail ~
