The holidays are a time to gather, reflect, and create moments that feel magical. At Marigold and Mum, I believe your home should be a canvas for your unique style and stories—even more so during the festive season. From an artfully layered tablescape to little details that make guests feel cherished, it’s all about designing with intention.
Let’s reimagine holiday styling together: mix vintage treasures with modern charm, play with unexpected textures, and weave in meaningful touches that spark joy. Whether it's an eclectic mix of candleholders or a whimsical twist on traditional greenery, the beauty lies in the balance of the old, the new, and the personal.
Unique and Memorable Holiday Styling
Layered Tablescape with Personality
Start with a table runner made of vintage scarves or fabric remnants in rich jewel tones like emerald, garnet, and sapphire.
Use mismatched china—pair a modern matte plate with a delicate floral vintage salad plate.
Add height with a mix of candlesticks: brass, ceramic, and glass in varying sizes.
Centerpieces can include fresh pomegranates, figs, and artichokes nestled into seasonal greenery like cedar and eucalyptus.
Unexpected Pops of Whimsy
Hang miniature wreaths made of rosemary or bay leaves on the back of each chair with velvet ribbons.
Include tiny handwritten place cards tucked into antique ornaments at each setting.
A Holiday Mantel That Steals the Show
Layer garlands of magnolia leaves, berries, and twinkle lights, letting them drape casually for an organic feel.
Display a curated collection of vintage figurines or snow globes intertwined with sprigs of greenery.
Add a bold touch with oversized ornaments in unconventional colors like teal, blush, and champagne.
Warm and Inviting Entryway
Arrange a cluster of lanterns at different heights, with battery-operated candles to guide guests in softly.
Wrap your stair railing with cascading garlands and incorporate unexpected elements like feathers or hand-dyed ribbons for texture.
Signature Drink Station
Style a bar cart with brass accents, festive glassware, and a signature drink menu displayed on an ornate vintage frame.
Garnish cocktails with sugared cranberries, sprigs of rosemary, or edible flowers for a chic, memorable touch.
These ideas are designed to inspire and elevate, making every detail of your holiday home feel special and unforgettable—just like you!
