Holiday Tablesettings don't have to be complicated!
Holiday table settings don't have to be fussy or elaborate. They can be fun and festive, with minimal effort! A simple and festive Christmas table setting can add a touch of holiday cheer to your home and with just a few easy steps, you can create a beautiful display for your friends and family to enjoy.
Here are 8 tips for a simple and festive table:
1. Start with a neutral base. A white or light-colored tablecloth is a great foundation for any type of holiday décor.
2. Use natural elements. Add touches of nature by using greenery, berries, and pinecones in your centerpiece and place settings.
It is easy to create a beautiful setting using natural materials like greenery, berries, and pine cones. You can also use candles, ornaments, and other decorations to make your table look merry and bright.
3. Keep it classic: Traditional Christmas colors like green, red, gold, and silver always look pretty on a tabletop.
4. OR: Go metallic. An all-metallic tablescape can feel really luxe during the holidays. try pairing different shades of gold or bronze for interest.
5. Decorate each place setting with a small Christmas ornament or add some greenery in the center of the plate.
A bud vase with small flowers would make a easy and beautiful addition to any tablesetting:
6. Use candles as accents throughout the table for added warmth and ambiance .
7. Hang an evergreen swag or garland above the table to create extra visual interest .
8. Choose a focal point for your table. Whether it’s a beautiful centerpiece or an elaborately decorated tree, choose one element to be the star of your show.
I like to use a tray for my centerpiece. Easy to lift off the table to make room for the food!
Red, green, and white are the classic colors of Christmas, and this centerpiece uses them all in a refined, elegant display. Spruce is the greenery used, and spray roses and hypericum berries bring in rich red accented by white spray roses, hydrangeas, and calla lilies and finished with pinecones. The vase or vessel chosen for your centerpiece will change the feel of it. It can be just a simple container that plays second to the arrangement, or it can stand out as a beautiful element of the piece. Here, a tall mercury-glass vase is just as much part of the display as the flowers. The height of it works especially well on a buffet.

Christmas dinner is a special occasion, so even using just a few festive elements can make your meal feel extra special. Try adding some colorful lights or Christmas decorations to your table setting, playing holiday music in the background, or serving up some traditional seasonal dishes like pumpkin pie or chestnut stuffing. With just a little bit of effort, you can turn your ordinary dinner into an unforgettable celebration!
I'm so excited to get started on some Christmas decorating this weekend. We've been debating whether or not we should get an artificial tree or keep with tradition and go with the real thing, but how about you? Do you have any plans yet or do they wait until December 25th? I'll try and take some nice photos.
Have a great week everyone!
