Classic Elegance with a Twist:
Embrace the timeless beauty of traditional holiday colors like red and green, but add a modern twist. Incorporate elements like metallic accents, such as gold or silver, to give your table a touch of sophistication.
Table Runner: Lay a rich red or green table runner as the foundation.If you don’t have aa table runner, try folding a tablecloth to act as a runner for added color.
Metallic Accents: Use metallic chargers, napkin rings, or better yet, get a can of metallic spray paint and spray some pinecones or greenery from your yard! Spray a large stem of an evergreen and cut it down into small vases all over the table.
Flowers: Use festive highball glasses to add a lot of floral to your table. If the glasses are colorful, use only white flowers and vice versa!
Rustic Charm:
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere with a rustic-themed tablescape. This style works well for both formal and casual gatherings, adding a cozy and homey feel to your dining experience.
Seasonal Foliage: Decorate with pinecones, evergreen branches, and small bundles of cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon sticks and fresh greens can be tied with twine to a napkin.
Burlap Table Runner: Opt for a burlap table runner to complete the rustic look.
Winter Wonderland:
Transform your dining area into a magical winter wonderland with a predominantly white and silver color palette with a touch of red. This elegant and enchanting theme is perfect for celebrating the winter holidays.
White Linens: Start with crisp white tablecloths and napkins.
Silver Accents: Everyone has some silver they are storing their cabinets that rarely gets used. Bring it out! Put some red ornaments in serving bowls and make that part of your tablescape!
Faux Snow: Scatter artificial snow on the table for a snowy effect.
Natural Beauty:
Bring the beauty of the outdoors to your dining table with a natural-themed tablescape. Earthy tones and organic elements create a soothing and inviting ambiance.
Earthy Color Palette: Choose muted greens, browns, and soft blues for a calming effect.
Natural Centerpiece: If you have a magnolia tree in your yard, you are all set! This is the perfect way to add some charm to your table. Lay the leaves along the center of the table and wind some ivory ribbon throughout.
Wooden Plates: Opt for wooden chargers for an earthy touch.
Vintage Charm:
Give your holiday table a touch of old-world charm with a vintage-inspired tablescape. Vintage china, crystal glassware, and antique silverware add a sense of nostalgia to your celebration.
Vintage China: Use heirloom or vintage-inspired china plates for an elegant look. Break out that china that your family has passed down and make it work! If the colors aren’t standard holiday colors, you can pull it together with white linens and fresh greenery. The festive color comes from the greens and florals.
Crystal Glassware: Serve drinks in crystal glassware for a touch of luxury.
Lace Tablecloth: Lay a lace tablecloth across the center of the table at an angle for a vintage vibe.
