10 Tips For The Perfect Christmas Tablescape. Also how pretty is this table setting? I love everything about this table. from the lights to the sparkles from the flowers to the copper accessories.

Add A Touch Of Glitter And Sparkle:

1.) Add A Touch Of Glitter And Sparkle. Firstly, why not add some of your favourite Christmas tree baubles to your Christmas table? Glass, mirrored or shiny ones with sparkles.

Sparkle every day, especially through-out Christmas. While it’s tempting to go all out, less is often more.

Leave enough space for plates, glasses, and serving dishes. A clean, uncluttered table is both practical and beautiful.

Brighten Thing’s Up With Twinkle Lights:

10 Tips For The Perfect Christmas Tablescape.

2.) Brighten Thing’s Up With Twinkle Lights. Secondly, twinkly lights. Plain fairy lights add a beautiful and magical feel to the settings. Or opt for bright and beautiful coloured lights?

Of course, bright is always beautiful. Lighting is key to setting the mood.

Use soft, warm lighting from candles or string lights to create a cosy atmosphere. Avoid harsh overhead lighting and let your candles and decor shine.

Add Different Coloured Wines And Drinks:

3.) Add Different Coloured Wines And Drinks. Thirdly, Let the wine flow!! Add a few different bottles of wine. Red and rose, especially stand out.

So pick your table colour setting and stick to a few colours that go together well. Why not pick your favourite colours and pick some drinks to match?

Lilac and silver, red and gold? Pinks and purples?

10 Tips For The Perfect Christmas Tablescape:

Add Fun Candles.

4.) Add Fun Candles. Fourthly adding tea lights and candles burning make the table shine and has a cosy and magical feel to it.

Use candles, vases, or tiered trays to create varying heights. Tall candlesticks paired with shorter ones can make your table more dynamic and visually engaging.

5.) Keep It Simple:

Fifthly and do not overdo it with too many coloured plates. Because it might make it look too busy. Your tablecloth or runner sets the foundation for your tablescape.

Choose fabrics that complement your theme, such as rich velvet for a luxurious vibe or burlap for a rustic feel. A patterned runner can add a festive touch without overwhelming the table.

Colour plates are beautiful with not many things on your table but keep things simple when you are filling your table at Christmas.

Whites ones are inexpensive, goes with most coloured accessories and blend in perfectly. Keep your table looking calm and with not too many things on it. It can easily look too crowded.

So how sweet are the plates above with a little silver edging!?

Add Beads And Pearls:

6.) Add Beads And Pearls. So how pretty do a few shiny beads look? Combine various textures to add depth and interest. Think soft napkins, shiny ornaments, matte ceramic plates, and lush greenery.

Mixing textures creates a tactile and visually appealing setting. I also like to add my imitation pearls to a table setting. They look so pretty.

Add A Wine Decanter Or Two:

7.) Add A Wine Decanter Or Two. Wine decanters look so pretty on a Christmas table. Or why not upcycle some old wine bottles?

Step up your tablescape with themed glassware. Look for decanters with subtle holiday motifs or sparkling glasses that catch the light.

If you’re on a budget, mix and match pieces you already own. Tie It All Together with a red bow.

10 Tips For The Perfect Christmas Tablescape:

8.) Add A White Table Cloth. Plain white table clothes look beautiful on Christmas day. They remind me of the snow!! Because I always wish for snow on Christmas day.

Then you can create a beautiful snowy Christmas theme. Also, colours work well. Gold or silver. Green or red are very Christmas-y.

Bring the outdoors in with pinecones, evergreen branches, or sprigs of holly. Arrange these natural elements as a centerpiece or scatter them along the table for a fresh and festive look.

10 Tips For The Perfect Christmas Tablescape:

9.) Fresh Flowers. Fresh flowers always look beautiful, especially roses to match your colour scheme.

Imitation flowers also look great. Especially ones with lots of sparkles. Your centerpiece is the focal point of your tablescape.

Whether it’s a garland adorned with fairy lights or a dramatic floral arrangement, ensure it ties back to your theme and anchors the design.

Add A Touch Of Class:

10.) Add A Touch Of Class. Last but not least, keeping colours simple and light add a touch of class. The glass will sparkle with fairy lights. So beautiful too.

Personal touches like name cards, mini wreaths, or custom ornaments at each setting add charm and make your guests feel special. These also double as keepsakes for your loved ones.
