Nesting With Grace

Holiday Hosting-Favorite Table Settings for all Seasons and New Anthropologie Collection

September 21, 2025

I absolutely love celebrating special occasions. Whether it’s a big holiday or just a small family moment, I find so much joy in adding those thoughtful little touches that make the day feel extra special. For me, setting the table is more than just putting out plates. It’s a chance to get creative, express my style (I love patterns!), and make memories!

I’m so excited to finally share that I’ve partnered with Anthropologie on a brand-new collection Launching October 7th!!! I designed three styles of these adorable Icon Cups with matching vases, perfect for adding a festive touch to your holidays (and the star could be used all year!) *this will be limited stock, while supplies last Wood Shelf // Garland // Gingham Curtain

Holiday Table Favorites

No matter the season, the goal is to make people feel welcome and loved. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or big holiday dinner, never underestimate the power of a thoughtfully set table.

Christmas Table Setting 2024-

I placed these Scalloped Dinner Plates (similar) first, layered the Natural Check Linen Napkins. Every plate has a thoughtfully planned out spot for our guests with a Gingerbreads house name tag so they know where to sit. On the sides of the plate was this Gold flatware. Above is a glass tumbler and a cracker above each setting.

I was excited to use my checkered burgundy tablecloth. Pulls out the color in my new woodlands banners and looks so festive with my green dining chairs!

Fall Table Setting 2024-

It’s the perfect time of year to invite friends or family over for an Autumn dinner party. Fall feels like the time to get cozy with candlelight and good food.

Halloween Table Setting 2025-

I love a good theme, and Halloween is the perfect setting for it—there’s just something about the cozy or creepy, seasonal vibe. Tablecloth // Plate // Napkin // Bowl // White Flatware // Halloween Party Cracker

We laid down the scalloped dinner plates (similar) first, added the pink acorn dessert plates on top, and finished it off with scalloped checkered napkins and gold flatware for a warm touch. My favorite cups placed at the top of every setting.

For the tablecloth, I used two shower curtains, spiders scattered along the table, a deck of playing cards illustrated with toads, candles flickering softly, and tiny brooms set the mood perfectly. Add in spider-shaped taper candles and a Halloween glass candle lamp, and your table is instantly transformed into a creepy, cozy haunt. More Halloween table details HERE.

When the main event is good food, you set the stage (or the table) for a great time and conversation. Everyone will linger longer! Tablecloth // Plate // Acorn Plate // Napkin // Pumpkin Mug // Pie Juice Cup // Red Flatware // Turkey Party Cracker
