Amazon's Holiday Table Decor Is Great for Last-Minute Party Planning
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
'Tis the season for cozy dinners, fancy Christmas parties, and, inevitably, shindigs that sound like a good idea in theory until it's time to assemble everything. Enter: Amazon—or more specifically, Prime—which offers tons of holiday party table decor essentials that'll get to you quickly for last-minute get-togethers (thank you, speedy shipping).
Pro tip: A cobbled-together affair doesn't have to look like an afterthought. Skip the traditional color palette in favor of unexpected hues like persimmon and sage green, and focus on elevated materials like linen or jewel-toned glass (one of the season's biggest trends) to create a tablescape that looks like it was weeks in the making. The fact that it isn't can be our little secret.
