A Stunning Backdrop: The Venue at Turkey Ridge

Turkey Ridge was the perfect backdrop for our photoshoot—we love how the venue’s warm wood tones contrast with the cool-toned winter tablescapes. Whether you’re hosting your party here, at another venue, or even at your home, we can help you create an unforgettable ambiance.

Winter-Inspired Tabletop Design

To create your winter wonderland event design, start with blue velvet linens. We chose a rich, royal blue, but an icy blue would be equally lovely. Not only are velvet linens soft and luxurious, but they’re also warm and soft to the touch. That makes them perfect for winter. Once you’ve created your tabletop foundation with your linen of choice, add a charger. Our Silver Reef charger is a flawless selection—it resembles a snowflake! Then, add our Lucia china set on top. It’s subtle, so it will not detract from the bold metallic charger.

Chic Finishing Touches

For your final accent pieces, include our antique-style silver Vanessa flatware. We like the vintage look for the winter wonderland theme because it really sparkles and gives an air of sophistication. Our more modern, matte-finish flatware options are beautiful, but we want all the shimmer we can get! Finally, complete your tabletop design with the Gatsby glassware collection. The textured glass catches the light, almost like a falling snowflake!

Design Tips: Bring Your Winter Wonderland to Life

Want to take the theme even further? Here are a few additional ideas:


  • Utilize wintry floral accents like pine branches, holly, eucalyptus, pinecones, or dried florals to bring the outdoors in!
  • Go all out on the metallics. Use silver serving trays, chafing dishes, teapots, and serving utensils. The more your event glistens, the better.
  • Serve warm, custom cocktails and beverages, like coffee, tea, mulled wine, and apple cider. These will keep your guests feeling warm and comfortable all night long, no matter the temperature outside.


With these winter rental items, along with our extra design tips, you’re all ready to throw your winter wonderland bash! Reach out today to get started on a quote for your event. We’d love to help you make magic during the upcoming winter event season.
