Set to Celebrate

This season, no detail is off the table.

This season, no detail is off the table. 

With so many things vying for your attention during the holiday season, having a little extra help can make all the difference in the world, especially if you are playing host or hostess. Libbie Howard and Sydney Rainey, co-founders of local event and design company The Set, came to the rescue for our holiday table.

The swoon-worthy table top, filled with gilded pagodas, fresh flowers and long taper candles, made for the most beautiful tableau. Courtney Pryor’s iced sugar cookies — doubling as seating cards with calligraphy by Prisem Art Studio — are the cherry on top. In addition, a twinkle lit tree from Social Greenery (page 24) contributes to the festive scene. A fully stocked bar cart stands at the ready with vintage glassware from The Set and cool cubes from The Vault (page 20) for the perfect pour.

Other details that lend themselves to beauty are luscious linens, gold flatware and both gold-rimmed and green-stemmed glassware, all provided by The Set. Attention to detail pays off in spades for this setting, and makes it easy to sit back and celebrate the season.
