Entertaining Tips for the Holidays from Eddie Ross
With the holidays quickly approaching we turned to style expert Eddie Ross for tips on getting guest ready! Eddie recently renovated his brand new Edgewood Hall kitchen, which will host many friends this Thanksgiving. His practical and creative advice has us excited to celebrate this year!
Get Started Early
Set up your table a few days in advance to ensure you have everything you need. This also allows you to prepare any linens that need to be pressed for the event.

Mix it Up
Make your table interesting by combining vintage and new pieces. The vintage pieces can add interesting elements that stir up conversation while keeping the look fresh.

Get Organized
Don't forget about the serving pieces! Pull out all the platters and tureens and label what will be used for what. This will help you stay organized the day of the event.

“It's so much easier when you're not running around the day of trying to figure out what works.“
Test your Receipes
Practice your recipes before the day of the event. Unless they are family recipes you have made before, you will want to make sure to do a dry run so that the meal is a success!

Set the Tone
Go big with one centerpiece and then pull those colors into areas around your home. For example have small arrangements on the buffet or bar that coordinate with the main centerpiece.

The Heart of the Home
Everyone always ends up gathering in the kitchen. Make sure you have an organized mess to make guests feel like you have a control over the evening.

Use Your Good Stuff
Now is the time to pull out your good china and silver! Don't worry about it matching or having full sets. The mix is what makes it interesting and makes your guests feel special.
