Set Your Table With Flair--A Winterberry and Tartan Christmas Tablescape

Merry Christmas and hello!  I hope all of you who care to stop by my blog are well and in good health.

I just wanted to pop in and share my tablescape for this year's festivities.  I do hope you enjoy.

This year, to match the theme and décor of the house, I set a very traditional table.  The theme in the house featured lots of tartan and winter berries.  If you would like to view the complete house tour, you may do so by visiting the post on my blog here.

I wanted the table to be cohesive with the rest of the home, so I was mindful of that as I considered the feeling I wanted the table to emulate.

I began setting this table with a rich green damask.  A glamourous black charger with ornate silver detail was placed next.  A dramatic napkin was placed alongside the charger.

A festive tartan plate sets the scene for a Merry fête.  

The placement of black dessert plates comes next, building a cohesive look on the tabletop.

For bread service, a dainty appetizer plate with a darling holly motif completes the plate stack.

At each setting, I placed a little box filled with a Lindt chocolate and two Ferrero Rocher hazelnut candies.  A perfect take-away treat for guests!

Once closed, each box was tied with a tartan ribbon and adorned with a tiny pine and berry spray.

So sweet!

A tiny coaster in shiny stainless steel works on this table as a saucer

when paired with beautiful ruby red teacups.

A water goblet and elegant flute are placed next for beverages.

The proper accoutrement

along with candlesticks in silver with one white and one dark red taper

complete the table setting.

The floral arrangement matches the theme in the home this year with its bold color palette.

From my family to yours, wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
