Adore Holiday 2019

formality is relaxed with antique benches in their original upholstery, a hand-blocked Indian tablecloth found while traveling, and an artful mix of linens and china. For this party, she layered a traditional china pattern with raspberry chargers and Leontine Linens in a bold design and fun color. "Everything does not have to match. Guests are more relaxed when things are mixed and matched." She often buys incomplete sets of china at junk shops and with every hue imaginable in linens and colorful Chaffe McIlhenny glasses, she is prepared to design endless stylish tablescapes. Whimsical gold bird candlesticks, which were a wedding gift, live happily with sterling silver goblets and monogrammed julep cups, a nod to her Kentucky roots. And sticking peppermint sticks in oranges is something she's done since childhood. With this relaxed and spirited attitude for honoring family traditions while creating new ones, it's easy to see how the Hodges are loving life in New Orleans.
