A stunning table setting elevates the food and fun at any gathering. That's why we partnered with Pier 1 Imports for this post.
I have a set of white dishes that I always try to transform into stunning table settings when hosting a holiday gathering. I've found the key is mixing things up with unique items — and playing with layers of color and texture. You can turn that set of white dishes into something amazing with flatware, glasses, and decor items, so every time guests come over, they'll wonder how you were able to come up with such a unique tablescape.
Since it's one of the most festive tablescapes of the year, you can go all out with pops of color for a really vibrant look. Cover your table with a crisp, white tablecloth, then arrange fun, poinsettia-leaf place mats under your white dinner plates. Continue the layering of red with glowing salad plates topped with square-folded white napkins. Gold flatware adds a touch of elegance to the table along with red-hued diamond-cut wine goblets. Finish each table setting with a sparkling ornament that guests can take home and add to their holiday tree.

4New Year's Eve Dinner
There's something so elegant about white-on-white, and New Year's Eve is all about being a bit decadent, so dress your table up with a white tablecloth, then top it with a faux-fox-fur table runner, which is so luxe. Your white plates look so lovely topped with a pasta bowl and flanked with modern flatware. Run silver napkins and top with a bit of sparkling decor, centering them on the table setting. Arrange oversize champagne glasses alongside sterling silver stemless wine goblets. Place a ice bucket at the center of the table and surround it with glitter spheres and you've set the table for an amazing evening.
