Rustic
Wood is the hottest trend for tabletop decor. From unfinished slabs as serving bases to oiled and carved wooden platters and boards, adding wood serveware to your holiday table provides an instant update.
These olive wood trays from Webstaurant Store will give your table some pizazz.
We love this oven to table soapstone serving tray from Viva Terra, warm the stone in the oven, transfer the stone to the tray and present those deletable foods which are best served warm.
Galvanized metal is still in style, it is lightweight and makes an easy backdrop to your culinary creations. The galvanized cake stand from Target has endless tabletop uses.
Everyday Chic
Imagine serving cheese, charcuterie, canapés or any scrumptious snack on these Pattern Cutting Boards by Richwood Creations, which frankly are too pretty for cutting on. They have other designs which can also be personalized for the perfect hostess gift.
The Cellar Whiteware collection from Macy’s is steeped in chic serving pieces like this tiered stand, which will instantly modernize your holiday table. White is always a wining color as it makes the food the focal point.
Glamorous
Bling out your table with a bit of rose gold on this lovely serving bowl from LSA International at Amara, add their matching stemware and votives to really beautify your table.
You can never go wrong with clean shiny glass, these Sava trays from Crate & Barrel. These are spectacular the way the light catches the design in the tick glass and makes your table sparkle. (Warning, they are heavy.)
