  1. A Rustic Christmas

Whether your taste tends toward farmhouse chic or woodsy lodge, you can create a lovely, simple rustic Christmas table that is welcoming and cozy for all who come to share a meal with you. Burlap is a great base layer for a simple rustic table, such as this lovely tablecloth and various runners that add a little personality to your Rustic table.

Simple dishes do not have to lack personality. You can choose these beautiful, picturesque designs, the playful, Christmas-tree toting designs or the backwoods lodge for your Christmas dishes, and replace traditional glasses with mason jars or milk jars to further the rustic feel.

Your choice of napkins, napkin rings and serving pieces will further enhance your Christmas tablescape. Consider bringing in natural elements, such as bark or stoneware. Think outside the box a little, too. For example, these adorable reindeer jingle bell ornaments will look great doubling as napkin rings on your table. Don’t shy away from adding in a few natural decorations as well, such as branches, berries and leaves.

 

  1. Holly & the Ivy

Holly and Ivy are iconic and beautiful Christmas symbols. The green ivy and the bright red holly berries create a stunning Christmas tablescape.

Holly and Ivy dishes and glasses will fill your table with red, white and green, but you can choose more casual or more formal, depending on your taste.

 

You can dress your table in red or green linens with subtle holly and berries and let your dishes and accessories really showcase the holly and ivy, or you can bring out the berries and ivy on your linens as well. Here, are a few of the offerings available.

 

Use serving pieces and accents, such as napkin rings to pull together the final look you want.

 

 

  1. Sophisticated Sparkle

A little silver and gold adds a sophisticated touch to any holiday table. You can go monochromatic, or choose to mix your metals for a fun sparkly effect.

Touches of gold and silver create a festive table. To add sophistication to this look, don’t forget chargers and accent plates to enhance your table. This look can take you right through New Year’s Eve.

 

Tablecloths, runners and placemats can further build your monochromatic or mixed-metal look. Play with patterns and texture to really make your table shine.

The little extra bling you add to your table are sure to make your table shine! So have a little fun with your serving pieces and your napkin rings.

  1. Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

Delight all the kids – young and young and at heart – when you fill your table with Santas. Get ready, because Santa Claus is coming to town, and he’s making an extra special stop at your Christmas table!

With Christmas dishes sporting Santas, from classic to the jolly, and even a touch of whimsy, your Santa-clad table is sure to enchant your guests!

Pick a few of your favorite Santa serving pieces to tie together your table. Tablecloths, runners, placemats, napkins and napkin rings, all sporting Jolly Ol’ St. Nicholas will really pull your look together.

  1. Oh Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree has been used to celebrate Christmas and decorate homes for thousands of years.

Using Christmas tree dinnerware, you can set a formal table or a more casual table. Don’t be afraid to mix and match the sets to accommodate your crowd or your tastes. Some of these sets would also make wonderful accent plates or would create a lovely, fun children’s table.

Your table linen choices once again will help you build your table to your liking, for a more formal look choose the Spode Tablecloth and napkins, or add a fun Christmas tree table runner to add a little more interest.

Finally, your Christmas tree serving dishes will complete your look, and can help you pull in some more color to your Christmas table. These pieces add a bit of interest to a more traditional theme.

 

  1. Vintage

There is often something nostalgic about holidays. This Christmas, invite your guests to remember some of their favorite Christmases past by creating a vintage Christmas table.

For your dinnerware, the Johnson Brother sets and the Gibson set have a beautiful, classic vintage feel. Vintage doesn’t have to be serious, though, as the Vintage truck set shows clearly. Mix in some vintage glassware for a lovely mismatched setting.

There are so many ways to create a vintage feel with table linens, from a crochet runner, to a vintage car runner. Don’t be hemmed in by traditional uses. Hand towels, tea towels and dish towels with wonderful designs make a big impact as placemats or napkins on the kitchen table. Finally, your napkin rings pull together your style, from flea market style stars to vintage silver spoons.

 

Your vintage serving pieces need not be holiday-specific to draw attention. Scour your cabinets (or your Grandmother’s) for some great pieces in stoneware, ceramics or glass. If you choose red or green touches on these pieces, you are bringing a little extra Christmas color to your Christmas table. No family heirlooms? Check out these great pieces.

 

  1. Pretty in Plaid

There is something about plaid that is timeless, but also cozy and comforting. Are you looking for a special way to start your Christmas Day off? Try creating a welcoming table layered with plaids. It will draw your guests in, they’ll want to gather together, and have a cup of coffee. So play with your plaids and create a one-of-a-kind holiday. And if you are looking to mix themes, plaid and rustic are a great fit!

Start off with a few great plaid dishes.

For plaid drinkware, get creative. You can skip the color, but continue the texture in the plaid hi ball glass, you can add a touch of holiday spirit with the Father Christmas Goblet, or go full color and cozy with the plaid mugs.

Linens are such an easy way to play with your plaid theme. Layer tablecloths and napkins, runners and placemats to add dimension and fun. You can even throw a cozy plaid blanket over your table, alone or layered. That’s the real joy of the Pretty in Plaid table — anything goes!

Serving pieces may be a bit harder to find, so think outside the box. Try plaid trays, use this fun plaid carafe to keep your Christmas morning coffee (or hot cocoa) piping hot, and a sweet plaid picnic basket will hold your Christmas morning treats!

Classic Christmas

For many, Christmas dinner is all about tradition. When you pull together these classic Christmas pieces, you instantly have an elegant Christmas table. Don’t forget to mix in much-loved family favorite pieces to up the homey factor.

Really, any Christmas dishes that have been in your family for years will nicely set your table, but if you need some extras, here are some great ideas to mix and match with your old favorites or start over with a new Classic Christmas tradition. For the kids’ table, kid-friendly doesn’t have to be silly. Be sure to include a classic like the Villeroy & Boch Toy’s Delight Collection. It will thrill old and young, but still fit very much within your classic elegant theme.

Mix some of the serving pieces from your Christmas set with pieces from some other classic sets, as well as some cut crystal and silver for a show-stopping look.

 

 

A beautiful white tablecloth, napkins and silver napkin rings are right at home on an elegant, classic Christmas table. If you prefer a pop off color, bring in reds or greens either solo and sparkly in placemats or napkin rings or with traditional Christmas themes, such as poinsettias or holly.

 

  1. Whimsical

The greatest part of Christmas is the magic. We all love to feel filled with awe. Why not fill your table with a variety of awe-inspiring items that will put an extra smile on your guests’ faces. With this whimsical theme, really the only limits is your creativity – whether you are choosing funny phrases, mixing patterns or endearing characters, this table is all about your sense of fun. Here are a few fun ideas to get your started. This is truly one theme you must play with to bring out your own personal style!

You can begin with a fun set of Christmas dishes or choose a playful pattern in red or green and then mix in fun accents, such as salad plates, bowls, desert plates, glasses and mugs to create your very own brand of whimsy. So go ahead, enchant your guests.

Have a little fun with your drinkware. For drinking glasses, try a set with a loveable Christmas characters, like the Peanuts Gang, or everyone’s favorite Christmas villain, The Grinch. For an added touch of whimsy, don’t miss the Handstand Santa and Snowman mugs – what a fun way to start or end your Christmas Day!

Set the table with a fun base, and then layer on all your fun accessories. You may like the elf leg table runner below or the snowman face placemat. There are endless tea towels you can use in place of napkins or placemats on your table. Don’t miss the Mary Lake Thompson adorable Christmas dog towels, which can work as placemats or napkins.

Dog-Themed Towels

Your whimsical serving pieces will be the last bit of flair added to your table. Choose playful pieces that speak to you. This table is an instant conversation piece. Your guests will be talking and laughing in no time as they examine all the fun little pieces you have strewn across your table. What a wonderful way to enjoy a holiday meal.

  1. Winter Wonderland

If you are looking for a table setting that has a bit more staying power than just the Christmas holidays, consider creating a Winter Wonderland table. This can take you from right after Thanksgiving through the entire winter. You will love the look so much, you’ll want to have dinner parties and get-togethers all winter long. What a great way to pass the cold winter days, gathering friends and sharing food and drink on one of these lovely, wintery settings.

The dishes you choose will really set the tone for your Winter Wonderland. Clearly, to create a winter wonderland, we are thinking about snow and white. I love to use a lot of white for these looks, but the dishes will dictate the accent color used in this theme.

If you choose the Fiesta Snowflake Collection, the dish will be your big pop of blue. You can fill the rest of your table with white and silver and a few more touches of blue here and there.

If you choose the Winter Cardinal Set or the Modern Holiday Square Dinner Plate, the dishes both have a small pops of red. The cardinal is subtle and elegant, the reindeer is a little more pronounced and modern. You will fill the rest of your table also with white and silver, and a more pops of red to tie it all together.

The Mikasa “Clear Cheers” mimick snow to me, and would fit on either table. I would choose the blue wine glasses to complement the snowflake collection.

These lovely linens make a wonderful, wintry backdrop for any of these dishes.

The white serving pieces will work with either table setting. I would choose a few of the blue or red accents to amp up the color just a bit and complete you beautiful winter wonderland.
