Traditional Christmas Tablescape

If you enjoy hosting over the holidays and decorating your house is one of the most thrilling parts of this season, then you probably have already incorporated some kind of tablescaping into your decor.


What is tablescaping? Tablescaping is the art of arranging items on a table in a decorative way to create a specific mood, theme, or experience.

Tablescaping doesn’t have to be intimidating and it doesn’t have to break the bank!

A popular theme over the past couple of years, which seems to only be picking up steam, is the traditional Christmas feel. Reds, golds, plaids and lots of nostalgic feels. You may have similar decor already laying around your house (or your mom’s) waiting for an opportunity to be used, and this is it. Before purchasing, look through your inventory!!

HOT TIPS:

  1. Check all quantities and sizes to ensure everything will fit on your table!

  2. White dinner plates not included, use what you have and make it work. Adjust the charger if you need a different size to hold your existing plate.

  3. All Amazon links are Prime friendly :)

  4. Try to use some existing decor or table setting items you may already own. Not necessary to go the extra mile and buy the gold cutlery if you don’t already have. Silver or black will work fine, don’t overthink it.

  5. Homesense or Walmart are always a good option for hunting down deals locally, especially if you need stuff to arrive before Christmas!

***I have not personally bought each of these items so please be sure to read reviews, sizing, quantity and return policies before purchasing.
