From Goldfinch Events & Design… Temperatures are dropping, snowflakes are beginning to fall, and the holidays are upon us. With that often comes the usual excitement and stress of decorating for large family gatherings, giving just the right present, and in all the chaos still remembering to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. May these few tips help inspire you towards a simple, stress-free holiday season.

When decorating your table, fresh cut bows such as cedar, douglas fir, and white pine provide fragrance and texture while an abundance of white pillar candles add warmth and coziness. Keep your centerpiece low to promote conversation and your color palate simple, in classic whites and greens with a hint of gold sparkle or pop of red to avoid looking over-decorated and tacky. Cedar trimmings make great napkin accents and snowflake sugar cookies add a touch of edible décor to everyone’s plate.

In all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, make time for those you love by: having an annual snowball war in the yard, a monopoly marathon, go caroling through your neighborhood, ice skate on a local pond, volunteer at a soup kitchen, or embark on a snowshoeing expedition. Instead of the stereotypical turkey dinner, make new traditions like hosting a tree-cutting party for family and friends with hot chocolate, home made treats, and a tree hunt. These timeless customs will be carried down by generations to come, building life-long memories with those you love.

During this shoot we had the pleasure of working with a family and styling their family Christmas photos as they sipped hot cocoa together and searched for a tree.
