Festive Holiday Tablescapes Featuring Fine Silver
When it comes to Christmas dinner, a tasteful table setting is half the work — the other half being the cooking! We know the basics of decorating a home for the holidays: putting up the tree, adorning it with ornaments, hanging the wreath, and wrapping garland around the banisters.
However, when it comes to setting a table that’s festive, elegant, and yet still functional, it can be hard to know what accents send a holiday message without overwhelming the meal itself.
Here are a few must-have touches to complete your holiday tablescape this year.
Elegant Dinnerware
Plain white plates and bowls with gold accents always emanate warmth and exquisiteness. However, if you’re looking for something a little more cheery, you might be in the market for some more vibrant and colorful holiday and Christmas dinnerware.
Don’t forget to accompany this collection with a similarly festive Holiday 5-piece Serving Set to make scooping up that sweet potato casserole all the more enjoyable.
If holiday-everything isn’t quite your style, there are plenty of Oneida flatware patterns that are ornate enough to match the occasion without breaking the bank.
Fine Silverware
The silverware you choose makes a statement, and it’s important that it matches the meal you choose to serve. A nice, weighted, stainless silverware set is perfect for accompanying a hardy holiday meal.
You can keep the jolly theme going with Christmas flatware, like the Holiday Stainless Flatware by Liberty Tabletop which features a snowflake pattern all along the handle. The end of each handle is also adorned with a classic Christmas icon, like a nutcracker, snowman, and Christmas doves.
Warm Decor
The centerpiece of your holiday table is just as crucial as the eating utensils you supply. Invest in some beautiful silver candlestick holders to elevate the level of warmth and opulence.
Consider wrapping the candlestick holders in small pieces of garland, wound with red and gold ribbon. At the base of it all, a deep burgundy or forest green tablecloth with a plain silver or gold-colored runner will add to the holiday vibes.
