This festive decoration idea is perfect for dining areas with a white dining table and white chairs in Scandinavian style.
The festive table in blue and silver can be set up quickly. All you need are Christmas decorations, a modern candle holder, gray candles, several decorative figures, a white table runner, green tree branches (laurel, cypress, even eucalyptus) and cookie cutters.
A minimalist Advent wreathis the centerpiece of the Christmas table, so place it in the middle. You can either buy a modern candle holder or make the candle holder yourself. You can display modern deer figurines on both sides and scatter baubles around them. Rhinestones will also give the table a fine, glamorous look.
Brighten up the table with pretty star-shaped cookie cutters. Together with cotton branches and fresh tree leaves, they create a beautiful winter ensemble on the plates. The color duo green and silver traditionally looks beautiful and loosens up the otherwise too cool look of the Christmas table. Natural materials such as pine cones can create a cozy atmosphere.
Festive decoration with evergreen hedge plants
It's not just the traditional fir green that can give the Christmas arrangement a natural touch. Evergreen hedge plants offer an alternative to classic Christmas decorations and are also a beautiful eye-catcher on the table. That's why small boxwoods in pots play the main role in the next festive arrangement. Golden animal figures and many pillar candles complete the ensemble.
Moss in decorative glass bowls, small boxwoods, dry flowers and pine cones with artificial snow are real eye-catchers on the festive table. A table runner with floral motifs provides the perfect background and allows the imaginative decoration to come into its own. Homemade candle holders made of concrete, lanterns and scented pillar candles bring variety to the festive table.
How to recreate the look: Stamp floral designs on the white table runner and let it dry. Then color giraffe decorative figures (optionally you can also use old children's toys as decoration). Paint the lanterns emerald green and arrange scented pillar candles on the table. Sprinkle fir greenery with fake snow and scatter several fir branches on the table to fill in the gaps between the boxwoods.
Whether modern, classic, with a rustic touch or eclectic: a festively set table for Christmas should above all appear inviting and create a cozy ambience. If you are planning a party at home not only for Christmas but also for the New Year, then you can use the same decorations. In this case, opt for a winter table decoration with glittering elements and flowers.
