Robins, holly leaves, and berries, the inspiration for this lovely tablescape, are portrayed on elegant holiday napkins. To make this festive motif a focal point of the table, place the napkins on white plates of simplistic design next to similar flatware. In this setting, the table is wooden and rustic, however, this decorative theme can also be set on a different kind of dining table – for instance, with a red or white tablecloth. The table centerpiece follows the theme – with an arrangement made of greenery and red berries.

Berries are an essential part of holiday decorations. Ornate your dining table with a beautiful linen tablecloth and matching napkins with the motif of green foliage and delicate red berries to create a Berry Christmas table decor. To continue this charming decorating story, add rattan placemats, green and (or) red plates, and simple and elegant glassware and flatware.

This lovely tablescape unites joyful pink, winter wonderland – white and silver, and a touch of gold. The white linen table runner is the design base, placed on a rustic wooden dining table. This charming color palette would also look great on a white, grey, or table in darker wooden tones. Round placemats are pink, and so are glitter glass baubles and a glitter tree. The glitter holiday decorations I mentioned earlier, joined by large pink-silver-white color Nutcrackers, create the festive holiday table centerpiece.

Beautiful starter and dinner plates in pinkish and white tones – draw attention with their colors, textures, and shapes. Pink plates add a stunning floral look to this festive fairytale-like tablescape, and romantic white plates are delicately scalloped with a vintage lace pattern. The romantic decor story continues with blush linen napkins ornated with bows made of chiffon ribbons. For a touch of glamour, there are gold-rimmed champagne coupes and flatware in glossy silver tones. Think Pink! 🙂
