To say that we love West Elm would be a major understatement. A better word would be “obsessed.” It was frustrating that we didn’t have a local store to pop into whenever we so desired. Well, that’s all changed, thanks to their new store that’s opened in Palo Alto, CA! To celebrate this exciting opening, we co-hosted an intimate dinner party with West Elm. We asked our go-to florist and event designer, Jacin of lovely little details, to help make our GG x WE tablescape come to life! We used West Elm items to create a very natural, muted feel. Of course, we couldn’t resist adding some fun pops of sparkle to make the table really shine! Check out the slideshow for a breakdown of the items that you can use to re-create this look for your upcoming holiday parties.

Taylor Sterling put together cute goody bags that included either a teal or gold Essie nail polish so guests could create their own Glitter-Guide-inspired manicures!
(Goody bags from Paper Source.)

Jacin mixed various West Elm vases to create a beautiful tablescape.

Create an unusual centerpiece using West Elm’s large Footed Glass Hurricane. Fill it with sand (or, if you’re in pinch, try sugar or salt like Jacin did!) and add a beautiful succulent on top.

Fun place cards are a great way to make your guests feel special and allow them sit next to people they may have never met otherwise (which is great for encouraging new friendships!). A cheap way to give basic cards a snazzy pop? Gold washi tape.

If you’re making a signature cocktail, print out what it is—as well as the ingredients used—and place it in a fun frame. We used a very cheap frame that Jacin spray-painted gold.

Each guest got a sparkly gift at their place setting. We thought that the West Elm/Confetti System Pistachio Sphere Ornament was the perfect goody (after all, the colors are glitter, teal, and gold!). Surprise your guests with a clever gift that either goes with your theme or represents something about them personally.
