Don’t get us wrong, we love tradition. But there is something really fun about mixing things up every once in a while (especially around the holidays!). Today, we’re excited to partner with IZZE to host one of our favorite new traditions: Friendsgiving!  It’s similar to Thanksgiving, but you get together with your friends before the actual holiday to enjoy good food and good company. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about your friends’ holiday traditions and spend time with your favorite people before you all head your separate ways to be with family. Read on for more!

Rainbow ombre may be an unexpected Friendsgiving decor move, but it will definitely make your celebration of friendship more memorable! We brightened up the traditionally muted autumn table with tableware and decor in rainbow hues, inspired by IZZE’s bright and bold color palette. We added in our favorite IZZE flavors, and spray painted candlesticks to match these beautiful colored candles we found. If you want to go the extra mile, you could also mix some of IZZE’s colorful cocktails to match the table!

Materials: IZZE Sparkling Juice (for color inspiration and hydration!), candlesticks of assorted shapes and sizes, washi tape, tapered candles (in rainbow colors), spray paint (in colors that match the candles).

Step 1: Arrange your candlesticks in varying heights along the center of the table. With a bit of washi tape, label the bottom with the name of each color, in rainbow formation.

Step 2: Spray paint the candlesticks in the labeled color, then let dry completely. Add a second coat if needed.

Step 3: Insert the coordinating candle into each candlestick. Arrange your table and you’re all set!
