Set a Vibrant Holiday Table

October 21, 2013

Brighten up this year's holiday table by adding vibrant place settings, table runners and glassware from Mexico. Whether you are looking to add just a few new pieces or purchase everything from the dining table to the glassware, La Fuente Imports has got you covered. Remember that the Holidays are about being festive so think outside of the box this year with your décor.

Keep these tips in mind when setting your Holiday table this year. "Place items like silverware, napkins, glasses and embellishments in the same arrangement for each place setting, and position your settings evenly around the table. In addition to place setting items, repeat colors, textures and finishes within your arrangement. Use a tablecloth or runner with an inspiring fabric to reference for your selection choices. Repeating all elements within your setting will create unity, resulting in a tailored look," states Kelli Uhrich, Entertaining Expert.

When considering what new pieces to purchase, start from the base (your dining table) and work your way up (to the decorations):

Dining Tables - If your dining room is in need of a new dining table, La Fuente offers a wealth of dining table designs, including many which can be custom made to your exact measurements. You are sure to appreciate the time and labor put into these furniture pieces for years to come.

Otomi Table Runners - Display one of these beautiful table runners on your Holiday table for an immediate burst of color. Otomi embroidery is a lost art practiced only by a small number of indigenous Otomi in the villages of Caseta Pahuatlán and San Pablito. It can often take months to complete a single piece.

Hand-Blown Glassware - Make your glassware the talk of the party! This hand-blown glassware comes from a collective of seasoned Jalisco artisans. Using recycled glass, they melt, blow, shape and texture each style at over 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't settle for low quality glassware this Holiday season!

Talavera Serving Trays - Serve your guests your best hors d'oeuvres from these charming Talavera bowls, serving trays and platters! Each piece has been lovingly hand-crafted by the La Cupula ceramic studio of Puebla, Mexico. These serving pieces are the perfect highlight to any Holiday dining table.

Talavera Dinnerware - Talavera is 100% lead free as well as microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. Plus it's beautiful and lasts a lifetime! Order early so you can show off your new place settings this Holiday season!

Wishing you and yours a vibrant Holiday season!
