6 Stylish Ways to Re-Create a Harry Potter Holiday Feast

Styling a Winter-white tablescape is a win-win for many reasons. You can pull together all of your basic white dinnerware and table linens without worrying if pieces will clash, and because white is so versatile, you can count on using all of these pieces again and again. To create this look, we used a white linen tablecloth and napkins from Williams-Sonoma, white dinner plates and serving platters we already owned, and white roses and hydrangeas from Trader Joe's.

This elegant version of the floating candles at Hogwarts was ridiculously easy to re-create. All it took was some fishing line from the hardware store and these glass candle holders and tealight candles from CB2.

Here's what you do:

To add visual interest and depth to your table, break out your trusty Harry Potter tomes. Place small stacks of your books at either end of the table and layer them with decorative objects like a vase filled with Winter white flowers.

Sure, you'll have your floating candles overhead, but flood the table with additional soft lighting to really set the mood. Place glass hurricanes filled with glowing pillar candles around the table and transform a glass cloche into an enchanting centerpiece. Holding a glass cloche upside down, place copper wire lights inside with the battery box hanging out, and begin layering the cloche with snow-kissed pine cones (just top them with white spray paint), metallic ornaments and your baby scrolls, place a Harry Potter book on top and flip it over.

Besides working in stacks of Harry Potter books, you can also accessorize with some simple DIYs and any Harry Potter mementos you have on hand. Here are some of our favorite ideas:

To capture the Winter wonderland effect of Hogwarts during the holidays, grab a bag of glistening fake snow and generously sprinkle it down the center of your table for an awe-inspiring final touch.
