Holiday entertaining ideas

Happy week before Christmas, everyone! We’ve shown you a ton of insanely gorgeous takes on holiday entertaining so far this season (scroll right on through the home page if you don’t believe us) but when it comes down to it, most of us are planning something a bit more low key, like an evening in with family or a small circle of friends. That’s why Natalie of 4 Corners Photography sent this holiday shoot our way— it features just what she + a couple creative friends had at home. And you know what? It’s got everything you need: sweets, friends, and a few festive pieces:

Natalie says, We wanted to put together a simple, in home holiday party inspiration to show that you don’t need much to have a beautiful holiday party! All of the styling was pulled together from our homes, desserts by The Dessert Table, florals by Soul Flowers, and invitations and calligraphy by Rachel Brewer. This was a styled inspiration party turned real party with friends and it was exactly what I would want in a party if I were a hostess looking for holiday inspiration this season.

Pro tip: Make your dessert table even more eye-catching with lush, wild greenery + flowers.

They kept the color palette to white, green, and gold to offer up a casual but elegant vibe.
