Winter Open House Tips

Winter has officially arrived in Colorado with chilly temps and snow. So, the fire is blazing, we’re sipping hot chocolate and the holiday season is finally on our minds {and less than 7 weeks away}. Whether you like it or not, the holiday season is here, and it’s time to start thinking about holiday parties, sparkly accessories, holiday shopping and holly music.

The Winter Open House we’re sharing with you today really lifts our holiday spirits and will give you great inspiration for your own beautiful, holiday party. The fabulous team at The Entertaining Shoppe {remember Kerri Cole and her amazing DIY book page wall} set up a classic open house that would make for a heart-warming family reunion or neighborhood gathering…and the good news is, once you set up the decorations for the party, you can leave the classic decorations up for the entire winter.

As Hayley from The Entertaining Shoppe said, ” The combination of Basics and hand-crafted party products make this an event to remember (and host) again and again.”

 We love the creative way they incorporated pinecones throughout the decor and details {after all, pinecones hold a meaning of rebirth}, created a contemporary cocoa bar and signature cocktail bar and infused pops of red and white color in every room.

Some of our faves from the party that you can purchase include the Red Ribbon & Pinecone Swags {window ornaments}, Red Ribbon & Pinecone Garland  and the Winter House Party Go To Kit.

Cheers to the upcoming holidays…and Pomegranate Champagne Punch. Yum.
