There’s something magical about gathering around a table during the holiday season — the glow of candlelight, the quiet hum of conversation, the little details that make a moment feel special. Whether you’re hosting a cozy dinner or a festive soirée, here are a few ways to elevate your table with charm, warmth, and a touch of romance.

Pavlova Wreaths

A pavlova wreath instantly becomes the star of the table.
Cloud-like meringue shaped into a circle, topped with softly whipped cream, citrus, berries, or winter fruit — it’s both a centerpiece and a dessert. The kind of edible décor guests can’t stop talking about.

Sweet & Savoury Trees

Tiny, sculptural “trees” made from pickles, pastries, or even stacked fruit add a playful, grazing-friendly twist. They’re whimsical without being kitschy — the perfect bite-sized nod to the season. If you’d like to make one yourself, you can find the full pavlova recipe here.

Handwritten Placards

There’s nothing more intimate than something written by hand.
A simple card, a soft script, and suddenly your table feels old-world and thoughtful. These are the little keepsakes guests tuck into their bags at the end of the night. Shop ours here.

Silver Serverware

Nothing adds character like vintage silver.
Lean into the natural patina — it tells a story. Mixing a few heirloom pieces with your everyday essentials instantly elevates the setting.

Ralph Lauren–Inspired Touches

Think deep greens, tartan, polished silver, heavy crystal, and candles everywhere.
It’s that masculine-meets-elegant world that feels timeless: warm, layered, and effortlessly chic. Shop our tartan placemats and napkins.

Whipped Butter

Always a crowd-pleaser.
Serve it feather-light and sculpted, with sea salt, lemon zest, or fresh herbs. It feels indulgent without trying — a small luxury that makes the simplest bread basket feel special.

Dressed-Up Pomanders

Citrus studded with cloves, tied with velvet or silk ribbon.
They’re nostalgic and aromatic, like stepping into a vintage holiday scene. Scatter them along the table or gather a few in a footed bowl.

Draping Fabrics

Let your textiles breathe.
Loose linens, soft edges, gentle folds — draped fabrics create movement and romance. Think tablecloths that graze the floor, napkins casually tied or folded, layers of texture that make the setting feel lived-in and warm. Shop Winter Wonderland Toile here.

Fruit as Decor

Nature’s sculptures.
Pears, figs, pomegranates, oranges — beautiful on their own and even more magical clustered on a table. They add color, seasonality, and a quiet sense of abundance. Shop our Winter Wonderland Toile Evergreen tablecloth and napkins.
