Ah! It's that time of the year again. A time where everyone is merry and bright. With all the Christmas vibe going, are you ready with your Christmas gifts? More so, have you started planning your Christmas table setting? Here are some ideas on elevating place settings, creating balanced centerpieces, and designing on-trend table runners. I've also included my recommended places on where to go to find the perfect gift for the people you love.
Christmas Table Setting Ideas
Christmas parties would probably be all month long for December, and there's no better way to celebrate than to share a nice cozy meal with your family and friends. Make sure to incorporate the holiday spirit by including exceptional Christmas table setting ideas into your home.
How to elevate your table place setting?
Whether you decide to have a simple and classic table place setting or a gold and crystal holiday table setting, knowing how to set the table depending on the type of meal you'll have will instantly elevate your dining experience.
How to create balanced centerpieces?
Using Christmas ornaments as centerpieces will instantly provide a cheerful ambiance to your table. Just make sure to create a perfect balance by not over decorating. You can also fill up vases and lanterns with ornaments. Furthermore, you can mix it amongst your dessert spread or put it in a bowl. Just make sure there's room for the meal, or your guests might not appreciate it if they don't have enough space for their food. Don’t forget to add the candles, paired with stylish candle holders. In essence, candlelight gives a cozy vibe with a soft glimmer, making it a wonderful addition to your table ambiance.
How to design on-trend table runners?
There are a lot of table runners available for you to choose from. If you can't find one that you like, you can design it yourself. You can get an ordinary table runner and sew Christmas patches that you like. If not, then jewel tones like emerald green or classic red tone will provide that timeless festive flair. For a modern yet elegant feel, neutrals with white will set the base flawlessly. Add some golden decor, tableware, and candleholders, and you will achieve an opulent aesthetic.
Perfect Christmas Gifts Ideas
And, who doesn't love a great thoughtful gift? After all, it's the season of giving, so it is but natural to search for the perfect Christmas gifts for your loved ones. No, you don't have to go bankrupt to give luxurious items as Christmas gifts. Certain stores offer iconic high-end gifts at affordable prices. Stores such as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Tiffany, etc., can give you both high-end and low-end gifts at affordable prices. Some are even under $100.
