Whether you’re ready for it or not, the holiday season is coming. For the time of year that is synonymous with gatherings and fetes, the pressures of entertaining can certainly take a toll. From setting menus to planning out the decor, throwing a party can have its fair share of challenges. So we rounded up a few of our favorite design blogs who take entertaining inspiration to a whole new level. Presenting, in no particular order, the lifestyle bloggers we’re looking to for a little help and guidance this year!

Sunday Suppers

Consider it a minimalist’s dream. Sunday Suppers’ flair for elevating the simplicity of everyday gives us life in so many ways. The signature elements that encompass the stark white interiors paired with subtly crinkled linen tablescapes, and organic, seemingly thrown-together centerpiece florals embody the art of simple living with a focus on what matters most: the company.

Local Milk

When it comes to the art of slow living, few know it better than Elizabeth Evelyn. Her impeccable eye for design is all the more evident within the stunning photography that makes up her beautiful blog. With a slew of tried and true recipes and an envy-worthy knack for food styling, there are plenty of tips and points of inspiration to steal from this page.
