Feed the holiday spirit—and guests—at a touched-with-blue table that doesn't so much scream holidays as whisper it

Unexpected touches like the faux coral branches and tall glass cake pedestals lighten the otherwise formal look. “It's elegant but not stiff,” says Vogler.

Opulent papers reminiscent of historic wall coverings add vintage appeal.

Embellishments—a faux butterfly, flowers and even speckled feathers—add whimsy without sacrificing a clean and unified look.

Turquoise sea urchin moulds, holiday baubles, and various trinkets joyfully share a three-tiered stage with delicate floral sprays.
