This holiday season, embrace the serenity of nature with a Nature-Inspired Christmas Table that brings the peaceful beauty of the outdoors inside. Adorn your table with lush evergreens and elegant white lilies, complemented by pristine white dinnerware and glass candle holders, creating a tranquil winter wonderland.
Natural Greenery for Nature-Inspired Christmas Table
Natural greenery is a versatile approach to setting a table for Christmas or any occasion. This table incorporates pine and deodar cedar cuttings, seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus, ivy, and white lilies, balancing formal elegance with glass candleholders and a relaxed atmosphere.
Preparing the Greenery
Access to trees and shrubs simplifies the process of gathering cuttings for your tablescape. It’s crucial to immerse these cuttings in water to eliminate insects, ensuring a bug-free table setting.
Color Scheme and Accessories
The greenery for this nature-inspired Christmas table is complemented by a color palette of white, gray, and black, and the addition of several glass candleholders introduces a touch of glamour. Opting out of a tablecloth maintains the table’s casual feel, while gray placemats and white caterer’s dinnerware add a sophisticated touch without overshadowing the centerpiece.
Incorporating Flowers and Candleholders in the Nature-Inspired Christmas Table
Integrate lilies without overshadowing the candleholders by trimming their stems and placing them in modest-sized glass jars, cleverly concealed by the surrounding greenery. Crystal candleholders can be easily found online, adding an element of luxury.
Special Touches for Guests
Enhancing the dining experience, a small gift such as fairy lights or chocolates at each place setting conveys thoughtfulness and care. For those sensitive to smoke, battery-operated candles are a considerate alternative.
Vintage and Natural Elements
Vintage silverware and the strategic placement of wooden discs within the greenery contribute to a modern farmhouse aesthetic. These elements (and options like pinecones) encourage a creative and personalized approach to the centerpiece.
Incorporating Rustic Elements in the Nature-Inspired Christmas Table
I had a tree branch cut into little discs a few years back. As I put this table together, I rediscovered the discs, scattering a few throughout the greenery, adding an intriguing element to the center arrangement. I found some smaller discs with holes drilled in them, which I utilized to decorate gifts, tying them around for a rustic touch. Combining wood and greenery introduces a unique, natural aesthetic to the setting. While I chose wooden discs, pinecones could have served a similar purpose, adding to the rustic charm. It’s about looking around and incorporating unexpected items into your greenery for a distinctive, eye-catching center arrangement.
Drinkware and Additional Tips
Selecting drinkware with vine etchings complements the natural theme. The versatility of greenery allows for incorporating various flower colors and personal items, encouraging a unique and personalized tablescape.
