A welcoming table, a simple drinks corner, and room to actually enjoy the evening.

Give the table a quiet starting point
Begin with ivory or oatmeal linens and the dishes you already have. Add a small evergreen arrangement or a little warm brass for a festive touch that leaves plenty of room for dinner.
Make a drinks corner
Group glasses, napkins, and drinks together so guests can help themselves. A tray gives the setup a clear home and makes the counter easy to reset afterward.
Keep the finishing touches simple
One deeper color—wine or evergreen—can carry the whole table. Use it sparingly and keep centerpieces low enough for everyone to see each other.
