Cheat Sheet: The 3-Step Formula to Follow for a Festive Table
Step 1: Lay the Base
A festive table starts with a beautiful linen. Tablecloths can dress up an outdoor table or shake up the palette in your dining room.
Step 2: Add the Layers
Make it your own with glassware, china, chargers, and flatware. The last touch? A linen napkin in a coordinating color or pattern.
Step 3: Top It Off
Finish with something fresh (leaves, flowers, fruit), taper candles, and details like a menu or place cards for that extra wow factor.
Autumnal Ambiance
Your tablecloth’s gorgeous Chantilly Vine print turns any meal into a woodland fantasy. Imagine dining surrounded by vines and leaves, right at your table.

Who knew tablecloths could steal the show and your heart?
Lean into the colors of the season with shades of brown and purple. Bring the outdoors in with wooden accents (candlestick holders, chargers, and all the rattan) and fresh foliage.
