Hi everyone! Welcome to episode # 18 of the Art of Hosting Podcast. I’m your host Mary Amaechi and I’m ready to dive into some simple and festive tablescape ideas for the holidays.  With that I mind, I plan to talk about five tips for creating a beautiful holiday tablescape. If you’re planning on hosting the holiday Feast this Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, the table can be a great way to make your guests feel welcomed and excited to spend time with one another. The holidays are generally designed to help us slow down and reflect on the good and hard times we’ve experienced in the past year, which can be really healthy and good for us :)

Today's Podcast Outline:

1. Pick a Color Scheme/Vibe
2. Use various textures and patterns, and metallics.
3. The Centerpiece
4. Candles
5. Add a Table Gift
