Holiday Table Decorations & Ideas

by Sarah Jane Dunaway

My favorite time of year is upon us! Not only does the Christmas season feel like the most magical time of year, but I love nothing more than spreading magic around the home. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the holiday table is the perfect excuse to add a little festive sparkle. Today I share some holiday table inspiration to help you prepare for your gathering this season.

During the holidays, I’m a huge fan of white and gold. In fact, it’s the same color scheme I chose for my wedding. It’s perfect for the winter months and especially Christmas.

You can never go wrong with white, especially white glitter! It works for both Christmas and Hanukkah and finding the right accessories for your holiday table is less stressful with such a neutral theme. I love how the example on the left incorporates a few subtle hints of color, but uses Baby’s Breath as the centerpiece

If celebrating Christmas, you can never go wrong with the classics–green, red and white. I love how this example uses traditional holiday garland, including holy and red berries as accents.

These two examples incorporate a rustic, natural look. I love the use of pine cones, burlap and especially the holiday sheet music as place mats. Using candy canes and red and white striped ribbon and straws is also a wonderful way to add hints of pop among the green and brown tones.
