5 Ways to Style your Christmas Table
NOV 21|5 min read
Christmas, together with summer weather, means plenty of entertaining & dinner parties are on the horizon.
Hello, summer soirees!
That time of year has finally swung around again - when we welcome friends and family around the table as we gather and celebrate the pure joy of being together. We’re imagining our homes buzzing with activity; guests congregating around a perfectly dressed table for long festive lunches and alfresco dinners while the kids play happily in the garden. If you’re stuck for holiday styling ideas or want to try something new to wow your guests, we’re sharing five super simple yet stunning Christmas table settings to try this coming festive season.
The Traditional Green Table
A classic for a reason, nothing says festive more than an evergreen tablescape. Lay out sprigs of eucalyptus or fir, wooden platters, and accessorise with bonbons tied with emerald ribbons. We love Christmas servingware with green designs to keep the tablescape consistent, and you can't go past a Christmas tree themed tablecloth or traditional wreaths as your centrepiece.
The Native Table
Sleigh this years' Christmas Table with a theme inspired by the local flora and fauna. Packed to the brim with joy, we can't get enough of our Christmas Botanical napery – especially when paired with coral coloured candles and a jug of icy cold sangria. For a bit of extra fun, we love scattering a few native gum garlands and some of the cute koala decorations from our Furry Friends collection.
The Contemporary Table
Merry meets modern with this crisp tablescape. Inspired by snowflakes and a white Christmas, opt for a white linen table cloth or white placemats, and dress your table with neutral crockery and blue napkins. To keep the look festive, we love to add a few holly berries and using Christmas tree decorations to brighten up the table. We love novelty ornaments on a bright, fresh table.
Insider Tip:
Give your tablescape a retro twist with coloured glassware (we love teal) and Vintage Glass ornaments scattered between the bon-bons and garlands. Our current fave is the combi van topped with a Christmas tree.
The Outdoor Table
If your Christmas style is a little less roast turkey and a little more prawns and pavlova, you're probably also looking forward to a Christmas table fit for the sunshine. Whether you’re hosting lunch, arvo drinks, or dinner, this alfresco setting offers lashings of good vibes and a place to sip and savour. Forgo a tablecloth and opt for Mediterranean placemats, paired with colourful drinkware and napkin rings.
The kids’ table
Your little ones will appreciate their very own table, sprinkled with merry stars and friendly little critters to keep them company during Christmas dinner. They’ll also love the chance to help build the table, so get them to decorate a smaller Christmas tree centrepiece, pick their own fresh flowers or create personalised name cards. Fill festive mugs full of candy canes. For a truly child-friendly dining space, dress your table with large sheets of paper and include pencils for doodling to keep kids entertained between courses.
