Follow some tips to avoid last-minute stress and still succeed, to gain impressions.
Decoration for the Christmas table
1. Take care of space
Make sure you have enough chairs and a way to extend your table, if needed. During the holidays, our friends and family become many more than we imagined. It is beautiful for our guests to feel, that a position awaits them. No seat should be disadvantaged and the arrangement of the meal should be such that access to it is equally easy for everyone.
2. Make a list!
In it there must definitely be linens for the decoration of the dining room, beautiful napkins and some sort of Christmas themed placemat. Cutlery and crockery that you will carefully place on your dinner table, glasses of wine to accompany the warmest of toasts and glasses of water to quench the spicy flavors you prepared!!
3. Come up with the decoration idea…
You can combine the decoration of the table with that of the surrounding area or you can choose independently. Also an idea is to have some kind of association with the meal that will follow.
Don't be afraid to combine textures and colors just make sure the decorative interventions are done with discretion and style in mind. The most pleasant result, personalized interventions give, which means to prepare your decoration as a whole on the table, but also for each of your guests separately.
For each guest, his dishes, his glasses, the tableware, his position!!
4. Create a central theme
Instead of the turkey dominating the center of the table again this year, let it spin from hand to hand and give way to something equally festive and impressive.
This, it can be a composition with ornaments and ribbons or candles and Christmas decorations.
at
this composition can also participate the seductive aromas of
holidays these days, such as cinnamon, orange, carnation, anise!!
So that your table, in addition to having an image, it also has a Christmas aroma!!
5. Include a surprise!!
Christmas radiates childishness and optimism. So what could be more pleasant than to include in your Christmas table, a personal gift,
a small greeting card or happy note in each place!!
You can place the one you selected, in the center of the plate, up the seat or if you have time and mood inside each guest's towel, after giving it a beautiful shape beforehand ( click here to see instructions ).
Another great idea, is to inform your guests that they should each bring a symbolic gift,
which will not be intended for you, but for an "unknown sender", so at the end of the meal a random exchange should take place, in game form!!
Curate the Christmas table and make a bet with yourself, whether the meal you prepared or the decoration you chose will steal the show. Definitely both!!
