Serving in Style at the Minnesota Governor's Residence
A gorgeous tabletop sets the tone for an elegant meal. These three distinct looks offer an artful approach to holiday entertaining.
Contemporary
Black-and-white stripes give this tablescape a crisp, unconventional charm. Bold pops of deep garnet add warmth to the sleek, modern setting.

Organic
Natural materials have natural appeal, especially when woven fabric, rustic twine, and wood grain contrast smooth polished stone. Moss green livens up an otherwise neutral color palette, while floral that hangs from a vintage drying rack suggests a forest canopy.

Traditional
