The holiday season is upon us! In 2020, the holidays will look different, but as we navigate new waters, we are still excited to create beautiful tables during this holiday season. If you’re looking for some extra holiday table styling tips and inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. If we’ve ever needed festive, it’s now, and we’re thrilled to share some of our favorite tabletop ideas.
Showcase Your Table
So many of us have gorgeous tables made of beautiful hardwoods. The holidays are a wonderful time to bring in the natural beauty of those woods and highlight with simple greenery. Just some simple greenery scattered and some random splashes of red in apples or pomegranate allow you to really showcase your table and enhance the natural grain of the wood.
Simple Ribbon Accents
We love how versatile ribbon can be for tabletop decor. You can pair place settings with some basic ice blue ribbon and some sparkly silver accent and have a table that looks like a gorgeous winter wonderland with little effort but some curling and tying. Wrapping ribbon is always a fun way to go in place of napkin rings.
Minis Make A Big Impact
Another easy way to dress up place settings on your holiday table is to use minis. You can easily find mini bottlebrush trees, mini ornaments and mini wrapped gifts. Place a couple on each place setting with a menu card, and you’ve got a jazzed-up holiday table with just the right touch of design.
Traditional is Always Beautiful
One of the reasons people love dressing holiday tables is that it’s a great way to reminisce about days of old. Bringing out time-treasured pieces year after year just makes you feel warm and cozy. Pull out your family décor and layer it for a visually interesting table that will be a conversation starter for everyone who gathers.
Play with Height
When you’re eating, the focus is on the food. But when you’re styling a holiday table, you’re not just styling for when you eat but for whenever anyone looks at your tabletop. Consider high-interest pieces that add some unique aspects and make sure they have a little bit of height to draw attention to their beauty.
Use The Holiday Dishes
Sometimes it may feel impractical to have an entire set of dishes for one holiday. Some of the loveliest tables are those that simply use the beauty of holiday dishes, some chargers, and a few well-placed snowflakes. With holiday dishes and a gorgeous floral centerpiece, your holiday table practically creates itself.
Bring Nature Inside
Some of the loveliest holiday tables are minimally set and use elements of nature. Well placed berry sprigs and pinecones can make use of the outdoors to make it merry inside. Placed on bare wood tables, its rustic charm meets Hallmark holiday. You can also add a little sparkle with some spray glitter on your natural elements.
All Is Merry And White
Holiday tables aren’t all about the red and green–you can make a dramatic splash and create a lovely table with white and gentle creams and neutrals. Some snow-powdered pine cones and gold-accented ribbon makes a blank canvas come to holiday life. Monochromatic is chic and effortless.
Classic Gold
Another single-schemed color that’s well-loved during the holidays is gold, it is traditional, festive and décor is readily available. It’s rich and festive and paired with gorgeous twinkling lights of a holiday tree, is pure holiday elegance and tradition at the same time.
Say It With Flower
One of the easiest ways to make your holiday table sparkle and shine the whole season through is with a gorgeous arrangement of flowers. We love this time of year, and we love customizing floral arrangements and centerpieces to match the vision you have for your holiday table.
