Holiday entertaining is almost upon us and I am starting to plan my annual Christmas party. I love entertaining but one has too consider the decorating costs to make your home festive but at the end of the day it’s not about enjoying the company of friends and family and celebrating together.
Here are some tips to tap into your inner Martha Stewart and but won’t break the bank:
Glassy Baby Votives
Colorful Votive Candles add ambiance to any party. Glassybaby.com sells beautifully blown votives in a multitude of colors, 400 to be exact that are sure to light up your home.

Seasonal Centerpieces – Instead of flowers, why not head to your local Farmer’s Market, gather up gourds, squash, apples, artichokes or other seasonal vegetables that strike your fancy.

Iced Decorative Edible Flowers – Spice up your punch bowl with edible flowers you freeze and then place in your punch bowl. This will definitely get your guests talking. Try Whole Foods or ask at gourmet markets for edible flowers to use.

Sleek Serving Trays and Ice Buckets – These are sure to keep your guest’s drinks cool as the North Pole. Check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls for holiday decorating essentials.
