Holiday Dinner Party!




Last Saturday my room mate Gabi and I had a dinner party! Actually, we provided the space while Sophia made dinner, Amanda headed up the crafts table, Nicole made desert, and I perfected the glogg. I think Gabi and I did a really good job cleaning up the apartment and making it look very festive and hygge.

I made a re
ally simple centerpiece with my three favorite candle holders. They are all the kind that have little handles so you could walk with them. I have been collecting them since last year and this was a perfect time to use them! I got red and gold tapered candles, and then scattered candy canes around them.

We don't have matching flatware, but I actually think our makeshift black, white, and red plates suited the occasion.

In the background you can see my favorite cheap and easy decorations, wine bottles with candles in them! It's so simple, but they look SO cool once candles have melted and they are covered in wax. The best part is that the only way you can get the wax to drip and look cool is by buying cheap candles! So you don't have to feel bad about getting the cheapest ones you see!

Finally, I lined the shelf and window sill with TONS of tea lights. It looked fantastic, almost like having a fireplace!
