Set a magical blue Christmas table to celebrate the season’s joy with family and friends. The serene and enchanting atmosphere it creates will set the stage for cherished holiday memories.
How to Create a Blue Christmas Table
This holiday season, I designed a classic and elegant Christmas tablescape that beautifully blends the timeless pairing of blue and white with festive elements. My goal was to create the ideal backdrop for holiday gatherings that exude warmth and charm.
Tablecloth and Dinnerware for Blue Christmas Table
I assembled this blue and white Christmas table by selecting a block-printed blue and white tablecloth (similar to this one) as the foundation for my tablescape. To enhance the look, I added white placemats and chose blue-rimmed white plates.
Drinkware for Blue Christmas Table
I incorporated vintage silver dessert compotes and wine goblets to bring an elegant touch to the table. As shown in the photos, I introduced a splash of blue with beautiful blue acrylic glasses for water and iced tea.
Napkins and Napkin Rings
To add a festive touch to the table settings, I selected blue napkins complemented by white dove napkin rings for a whimsical effect. I made the napkin rings from silver curtain rings, embellishing them with white wired bird picks by winding the wire around the rings to secure the birds on top. To finish, I placed the rings around the napkins and tucked a sprig of faux evergreen pine between the napkins and the rings for an extra layer of charm.
Flowers for Blue Christmas Table
I arranged and scattered small, silver mint julep vases of white flowers to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere. The contrast of the blue tablecloth with the white flowers instantly set the stage for the rest of the decor.
Centerpiece Elements
To enhance the sense of enchantment in the tablescape, I incorporated blue and white porcelain chinoiserie trees. Then, I added a white, snowy centerpiece tree to create depth and visual interest. Down the center of the table, I arranged white tealight lamps, white cone glass trees, and glass candles tied with blue ribbons. Then, to illuminate and brighten the centerpiece, I wove white pinecone string lights among the decorative items. As can be seen, this combination adds a magical touch to the overall display.
Blue Candleholders
To amplify the centerpiece’s allure, I introduced blue glass candleholders filled with white candles. This addition brought height and light to the arrangement, generating a warm and inviting ambiance. Furthermore, the soft glow from the candles contributed a magical touch to the overall atmosphere of the table.
To avoid the hassle of candle drips, I opted for faux battery-operated tapers in the holders. As a result, this eliminated the risk of waxy drips and ensured the candles would not burn down too low. Although faux candles may lack the classic charm of real flames, they are incredibly safe around children and don’t raise the room’s temperature. For a bit of authenticity, you can find tapers with a “wiggly” flame that mimics the aesthetic appeal of traditional candles.
Christmas Tree
In the background, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree featured blue and white ornaments, along with an elegant blue embroidered bow and ribbon, complementing the blue and white table perfectly. As a result, this tree not only enhanced the aesthetic but also added a touch of grandeur to the space, flawlessly harmonizing with the overall theme.
Snowy Birch Trees
To complement the magical blue and white Christmas table, I placed a white grouping of birch trees with delicate bluebirds on a sideboard next to the table. As can be seen, this addition brought an element of nature-inspired charm to the overall decor, further enhancing the winter wonderland feel. This blue and white Christmas tablescape came together beautifully, creating a magical and inviting atmosphere for all my holiday celebrations.
Add an Unexpected Color to the Blue Christmas Table
To introduce an unexpected pop of color to the blue and white tablescape, I decided to incorporate traditional red for stunning results. By swapping out the vintage silver goblets for vibrant red ones, I achieved a striking contrast that added depth and a different personality to the setting. Fortunately, the result was as beautiful as the original blue and white table, while also providing an eye-catching element of classic Christmas color.
I chose red goblets for the blue and white Christmas table. As a result, they helped connect the setting with the red and white Christmas tree in the adjacent room. In addition, they feature carved pinecones that beautifully complement the white pinecone string lights. As a result, the pine needles in the napkin rings enhance the overall look. Alternatively, you could scatter solid red ornaments in the center of the table to introduce the red theme.
Wishing you all a merry and bright holiday season filled with love, laughter, and enchanting moments at the table.
