Being festive is really fun but can also be exhausting — especially when you are really busy.  As event planners, many of us entertain and when we do, people expect to be impressed.  One way to easily blow your guests away for any event are beautiful table settings.  Anyone can put a bowl of chips on a 6’x6′ so accentuate the little details to show your guests they are in for a treat.  Here are some great examples of how to Dress Up a Table this Holiday Season.
