Waiting on Martha's Holiday Guide

As you can probably tell here on the blog, the WOM team is in the holiday spirit. We couldn’t be more thrilled to debut our Holiday Field Guide today, choc-o-blocked full of festive inspiration for you to enjoy all season long. 

In our clickable 40-page guide, we’ve shared dozens of our favorite seasonal recipes (don’t miss that homemade hot cocoa on page 11!) and stunning photo shoots from Christmases past. We’ve also included hot gift guide finds for all of those special someones on your list (and maybe yourselves, let’s be honest here). To best enjoy the guide, be sure to expand the view and flip through each and every page (stopping to click on any finds that catch your eye!).

From the entire WOM team, we hope this guide serves as a helpful and inspiring resource during this crazy and magical time. Ho ho ho! Cheers, Kat

P.S. We even invited a few of our faves to join in on the fun! Big hugs to Gaby Burger, Cheri Leavy, Jenn Gietzen, Jess Graves, Kathryn McCrary, Kristin Jackson, Mrs. Lilien, Robert and Tiffany Peterson, Riley Peterson. xo

A pristine log cabin and a table set for a holiday feast.  A table adorned with giant, handmade wooden candelabras and sweeping florals with sugared fruits. Each place setting marked with hand-cut place cards laid perfectly on Juliska’s Country Estate dinnerware.  And the menu!  Braised short ribs, glazed sweet potatoes, wintry kale salad and butternut squash creme brulee with red wine cranberries from our friends at Homespun.  In our opinion, it doesn’t get any more holiday-lovely than that, and this shoot was full of the holiday table styling I like to bring out year after year. 

Our magical Woodland Wonderland Dinner, specially styled for Rue Magazine’s Holiday Issue, was well-worth pulling out of The Archives to share for even more cozy holiday table styling inspiration this year.  Cheers, Kat

It’s never too early to start talking gift wrap 101 for all of your present-wrapping needs, especially for all of your newbies to the pretty package game. Can we please all vow to say no to gift bags this year?? With our gift wrap essentials  (think bold gift wrap, gorgeous ribbons and clever tie-ons) instead, a package is instantly transformed into a beautiful present waiting under the Christmas tree. 

MKR walks us through how to wrap the perfect present in this popular post full of gift wrap ideas from last year. She lists everything you’ll need, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to tie the perfect bow (you’re welcome).  Be sure to pop over to the original post for all of the giftwrapping goodness!  Cheers, Kat
