When the family comes together for Christmas dinner, create an ambiance that’s merry and bright with a table full of rich textures, fresh greenery, and a hint of sparkle.
Christmas is perhaps the most festive holiday of the year. During this season of yuletide cheer, we enjoy a medley of gatherings with friends and family around tables decked out with holiday treats and decorations. Allow your Christmas table to radiate with holiday spirit by adding lush, natural greenery clipped from outside, and incorporating gilded accents to create a festive style.
These versatile place settings include multi-purpose dinner plates by Arte Italica that can be used year-round, easily transitioning into a Christmas table setting when topped with a holiday-themed salad plate. The warm pops of red berries and glimmering silver touches pair beautifully with the natural green elements to give this tablescape the creative holiday appeal that exudes rustic elegance.
A tablescape is the perfect place to let your creativity take charge. Instead of using this ironstone tureen as a serving dish, both the body and lid were used as the base for an incredibly festive centerpiece. Turning the lid on its side allows for a cozy, relaxed look.
Style Idea: You don’t have to have an entire set of holiday dishware to complete your Christmas tablescape. Incorporate a festive dinner or salad plate that will mix well with what you already have.
