Christmas is a time to gather family, friends, everyone you love to celebrate the union and the end of another year. Nothing better than gathering everyone around a table full of a supper prepared with all the love and care, with typical dishes of this time of year and all your favorites! The decoration of the table cannot fail to enter into this Christmas atmosphere, with many green and red ornaments, lights, a special towel and its separate dishes for the biggest celebrations!
It's about this special decoration that we'll talk about in today's post! There are several ways to organize your decor, in different styles and with elements of all kinds, creating a special and cozy environment to receive all your guests.
Styles to adopt at your table
In any type of decoration, whether for your home or at the table, there are several styles of decoration for you to compose. We have separated three styles here, from classic to contemporary-minimalist, whatever your taste, budget and even willingness to make and organize your arrangements.
Classic Christmas table
The green, red and gold table, in the classic colors of Christmas, never go out of style! For those who want a traditional decoration, bet on a red towel, candles in the center of the table and even arrangements with leaves and pine cones. It is a type of easy decoration, which can be easily done and, if you have Christmas ornaments left over or from past celebrations, use them as complements for your table!
Rustic Christmas table
The rustic decor, with many elements in wood, natural fibers, leather and raw cotton are on the rise for those who are within the growing trend of the rustic. This decoration can become very elegant and sophisticated, bet on candles scattered around the table, many aromatic herbs and even plants to give a natural finishing touch to your composition.
Minimalist Christmas table
Another contemporary trend is minimalism and, even in times when the decor is more expressive and full of details like Christmas, it is possible to apply this lifestyle. Insert green or red elements (or even both) and even some candles or lights in your decoration and it will completely lose the face of simplicity and become more elegant. Gold or silver are also great colors to add to your decor and make them more festive. In this type of decoration, also bet on the simplest forms and without many ornaments and think that less is more!
What can't be missing from your Christmas table?
Although there are several types of decorations for Christmas tables, there are some elements that make all the difference in the composition of your table and that can not be missing! We have separated some of them with tips on how to use them at your table.
- Souvenir for the guests of this special date: cards, sweets and decorative souvenirs are great complements for the arrangement of your table and to add treats to gift your guests. In case you prefer a souvenir to eat, cinnamon or ginger cookies, especially if they are made at home are always the right choices (and, for those who like to follow American traditions at Christmas, it is a classic)!
- Christmas scents: Aromatizers, sprays, flavored candles, fresh herbs and spices added to the decoration of your table make all the difference when it comes to making the environment pleasant and comfortable for the guests. And for those who don't want to spend a lot, there are several types of natural flavorings that can be made at home with fruits! For a Christmas smell, don't miss out on cinnamon in both desserts and decorations!
- Candles, many candles: Another essential element for any Christmas table is candles. Whether large in a chandelier or small in small candle holders spread across the table. Bet on red, green and gold colored candles for the Christmas atmosphere!
- Special Christmas Items: There are some items that make any type of table decoration special and that are not always used, such as patterned napkins (which can be made of paper or fabric), bowls and cutlery. You know that set of cutlery, silverware or family crockery that are stored, this is the time to take it out and use it!
- An arrangement to delight: An arrangement for the center of the table, if it is round or square, or that extends along the central line, in the case of rectangular tables (especially the longest ones). To charm everyone, it is worth betting on handmade arrangements, especially mixing natural elements, such as pine cones, bay leaves, cinnamon, and industrialized elements, such as decorated Christmas balls, chains and even flashers, for the wider arrangements.
