Creating a beautiful table doesn't have to mean hours of ironing linens or worrying about wine stains. At Frank Winter Park, we've discovered the secret to effortless entertaining: Hester & Cook paper placemats. These aren't your typical disposable tabletop products, they're works of art that bring sophistication to any gathering while keeping hosting stress-free.
The Art of Layering Paper Placemats
The beauty of Hester & Cook lies in their innovative approach to table design. By layering different placemat styles, you create depth, visual interest, and a truly personalized tablescape. At Frank on Park Avenue, we encourage our customers to experiment with combinations that reflect their style while maintaining the elegant aesthetic Winter Park is known for.
Classic Holiday Elegance: Start with the Die-Cut Gold French Frame Placemats as your foundation, their ornate design provides a sophisticated base layer. Top with the Die-Cut Santa Placemat for a whimsical yet refined holiday look. Complete the setting with Santa Napkins (available in both cocktail and guest sizes) and pair with the Gold Peppermint Stripe Runner for a cohesive, magazine-worthy table that requires zero fabric care.
Bold Christmas Drama: For those who love rich color, layer the Red Painted Check Placemat Pad beneath the Die-Cut Red French Frame Placemats. The geometric check pattern peeking through the ornate frame creates stunning dimension. Add the Die-Cut Bow Placemats as chargers at each setting, and finish with Red & Green Plaid Matches as both functional items and decorative accents.
Winter Woodland Wonder: Create a nature-inspired table by combining the Die-Cut Winter Songbirds Placemats with the Green Lattice Placemat Pad. The delicate birds rest beautifully atop the geometric lattice pattern. Layer in the Die-Cut Evergreen Placemats for additional texture, and complete the look with Green & Red Awning Stripe Cocktail Napkins and the festive touch of Holiday Wreath Matches.
Elegant Neutrals: For year-round sophistication, pair the Bamboo Lattice Cocktail Napkin with the Pink Lattice Guest Napkin and matching Pink Lattice Cocktail Napkin collection. These versatile patterns work beautifully for everything from bridal showers to spring brunches, proving that Hester & Cook extends far beyond seasonal entertaining.
Why Frank Winter Park Chooses Hester & Cook

Paper placemats might sound casual, but Hester & Cook elevates the medium to an art form. Each design features hand-rendered artwork from talented illustrators, bringing museum-quality beauty to your dining table. The Die-Cut Burleigh Green Placemats showcase intricate floral patterns that rival fine china, while the Die-Cut Gingerbread House Coloring Placemat adds interactive fun for family gatherings.
The practical benefits are equally impressive. Spilled red wine? Simply toss and replace. Chocolate cake mishap? No problem. Your beautiful table setting stays pristine through every course without the anxiety that comes with heirloom linens. This stress-free approach to hosting means you actually enjoy your own parties, a philosophy we embrace wholeheartedly at Frank.
Completing Your Tablescape
At Frank Winter Park, we help customers create complete entertaining experiences. Pair your Hester & Cook placemats with coordinating items like the Champagne Coupe Cocktail Napkins, Champagne Guest Napkins, and Champagne Table Accent for sophisticated celebrations. The Vintage Christmas Tree Napkins (available in both cocktail and guest sizes) complement almost any holiday placemat combination.
Don't overlook the finishing touches: the Orange Orchard Guest Napkin brings citrus freshness to spring tables, while the Rattan Weave Guest Towel adds coastal elegance to summer gatherings. These thoughtful details transform a nice table into an unforgettable one.
