“Tying in the colors of the theme through coordinating lounge sets and patterned pillows will make sure your guests are feeling as festive as they are comfortable. Personal touches that really represent you as a host are the last ingredients to a joyful and memorable soiree!” - Lauren Montgomery of Collective Rentals Design House
“Here at Collective Rentals Design House, we know how important the feel and warmth of a space will affect the entire vibe of the soiree! We love to make sure the furnishings and decor are cozy but also exceptional for a special occasion! That means bringing in warm wood tables with gorgeous dining chairs and bringing in those special accents like hurricanes and candle holders to elevate the tablescape.” - Lauren Montgomery of Collective Rentals Design House
“Plan your setup in advance so you’re not worrying about it before guests arrive. Use rentals for your tableware, as it's an easy option for a quick clean up {clearly we’re biased about this category, but it puts the cleanup on someone else and is one thing less to stress about}!” - Cassandra Stearns of Borrowed Blu
“When hosting a holiday soiree we like to make sure the tablescape and decor is warm and inviting for guests to feel right at home. The more fresh blooms, the better! We also love the moody lighting of candles and the use of colored linens to brighten up the room and table.” - Be Inspired PR
“With a flurry of guests arriving at once, set up a pre-batched cocktail bar cart at the entrance of the party. Take the guests coat as they grab a drink and move in to the party. Holiday Mules or Champagne garnished with pomegranate and rosemary are two festive favorites.” - La Tavola Fine Linen

“We certainly recommend renting linens for your celebration – it’s an easy way to add color, texture and style to your table. But more than that, we love great napkin play! Select a gorgeous pattern or dreamy fabric and use the napkins around your celebration in unexpected ways. Use napkins to line cocktail trays, in your bread basket, as hand towels in the powder room or as placemats.” - La Tavola Fine Linen
