Purchase your tickets HERE, and keep reading for Lauren's 5 favorite tablescapes for the holidays:

1) Golden | You & LuThere's something so festive about combining metallics on a holiday table! I love to dress up the center with ornaments, bells, trees + confetti. Sometimes it's easiest to pick one color palette and really GO for it, so you're not battling between different themes working in one setting.

2) Celebratory |Glitter GuideAdditionally, is there anything more inviting than THIS sparkly table! I'm in love with the floral-infused champagne drinks, and the glittery disco balls. Another simple (and chic) tablescape trick is to spread loose blooms across the center, like they did here.

3) Minimal |Gal Meets GlamA simple holiday table can still make a strong statement, and I love the inclusion of greenery, pine cones + candles as the centerpiece here. There's something very cozy about it all. The table is chic yet understated.

4) Alfresco | You & LuBring the party outdoors! Living in LA allows me to throw parties in my backyard year-round. This is one of my favorite settings because it feels intimate + fresh. I dressed up the table with simple ornaments, pine cones and decorative trees I had at home.

5) Winter |Glitter GuideThis table is oh-so-SWOONworthy! Have you ever seen something so magical?! The metallic accents combined with the coziness of the linens makes me feel like I've fallen into a winter wonderland. I'm keeping this one on my inspiration list!
