Christmas Inspirations ~ Part III ~ Table Settings

How about some inspiration for some Christmas table

cheer! I've gone for a more modern round up in this

post including the gorgeous display above. The hanging

candle tea lights make for a magical feeling.

Here's to a midcentury modern table setting. Reds and

greens don't always have to be on the tree, in this case

red napkins and green chair pads contribute nicely to a

festive air.

You can use almost anything to be a seat card holder.
Ornaments or something like this miniature deer would

serve very nicely.

All you have to do is throw in some colored bowls and

candle holders with the white ceramic plates to brighten

the table up.

Use your children's Christmas crafts to decorate your table!

A miniature forest in Red with candy and

foiled wrappers really spruce up this table.

Mercury silver can make any table or mantle brighter.

This is a fun and interesting idea...using indoor sparklers

to adorn pomegranates on each place setting to give a

real thrill.

Here's a closer look at that indoor sparkler.

A bowl of limes with slim candles on the far end makes for

a great center piece on a table or mantle. For added cheer,

string up a group of ornaments and drape them across walls

and doors.

Here we pay homage to classic Scandinavian aesthetics.

Not having a formal sit down dinner? How's this for a snack

spread on the coffee table. Great for watching a movie with

guests or just chatting.

Sometimes, you can make a centerpiece very easily by just

taking a cake stand with a glass cover and putting pieces

of your crystal collection or other colorful items inside.

Here's a Christmas setting with an Asian twist.

How about snacks and games?

A group of large ornmanets hung up as a table centerpiece.

Tangerines, limes and other

fruits make for great decor as well.

What a simple but glamorous way of chilling the champagne.

Hope these ideas have given you

a start on your holiday planning.
