Hi all, I hope you are well and prospering.

Are you geared up for the coming Holidays? If not, now is a great time to implement your decorating vision for the season while the store shelves are overflowing with Christmas décor and whatever else is needed to make the season merry and bright.

Need help getting your creative juices flowing? The internet is inundated, with info on how to decorate your home for the holidays. It’s packed full of tips on setting the perfect table and how to stress-less during this time of year.

Did I mention I LOVE CHRISTMAS? I must admit I do. So, when it comes to decorating beautiful trees and creating festive tablescapes, I’m that girl!

Today, I’m here to show you how you can create an Elegant Table for Christmas. And as always, I will do it on a budget. So grab a cup of coffee, a fuzzy blanket, and get comfortable. The show is about to begin.

I had several ideas running through my head before I decided on this look. The dinnerware was my inspiration. I saw it at Home Goods and I had to have it! The color pallet evolved from there.

The tablescape was super simple to create. I used fabric swatches to create a one-of-a-kind table covering. You can see how I did it here. I introduced a set of candelabras accented with gold to add height and sparkle.

Next, I placed the miniature crystal trees in distressed pots. I love how they add a bit of whimsy and extra glimmer. Lastly, silver and gold ornaments from Big Lots and snowflakes from the Dollar Tree complete the look. I sprinkled salt on the table to imitate the look of snow. Go ahead, tell me that was a clever idea. I’m waiting! Lol

To break the monotony of the silver and white dinnerware, I switched out the salad plates, at the head of the table, for copper ones. And added scrumptious animal print bows. You like? The festive animal bows added another layer of interest to the table and a touch of the unexpected.

The goblets were another Home Goods find. I love the simple yet elegant Greek key design.

I think they make quite the statement!

All the elements. textures, colors, and patterns work together to create and elegant table. I think the animal print bows are the cats meow. Love em!

Since I owned all of the items except for the dinnerware, this elegant table cost me roughly $120. I think that’s pretty darn good. I know I could have created a similar look for less. However, my darlings some times you gotta splurge to get some of the things you love. It’s the China for me!

So, what do you think of my Elegant Christmas Table? I think it looks amazing.

I would love to hear from you. Please leave your comments or questions.

Tis the Season,
