Blogmas Day Seven: Christmas Table Decor



Hey guys!

Today I thought i'd share with you a few ideas for some christmas table decorations! Each year I get to help set up and buy things for our christmas table, and I just love it so much. Setting out cute little place cards for your family with little table presents and crackers and then you can put out mini christmas trees, and arrange the centrepieces all cute with fairy lights and mini baubles!

One of my absolute favourite things we have for this year are these adorable little napkin rings from John Lewis:
You can find them here and at only £8 for four, they are an absolute bargain! So cute! There are so many good choices out there, these are a few others that I come across that I liked too:


1- John Lewis | 2 - House of Fraser | 3 - Marks and Spencer | 4 - Debenhams | 5 - John Lewis
6 - Tesco | 7 - Amazon | 8 - Amara | 9 - Matalan

Centrepieces can be so simple and yet so effective. I love this one:

Candles, wreaths and pine cones can be so easy to get hold of, and they make such a lovely centrepiece. It just looks inviting and really makes the whole table seem christmassy. Perfect for those that don't like their tables to be too busy!

This one has a similar feel with the candles and pinecones but also has holly and parts of the pine tree too. The tall glasses with candles in can block the view across the table, so would look best on a long table, as no one would be able to see each other on a small one! I like how simple and elegant this looks.

I also love the little table present boxes! We used to make our own crackers with personalised presents in for a few years, but we do table presents now instead (though our boxes are usually smaller than these!) I think it's just such a nice touch. You can still use crackers so that you can have the excellent paper hats to wear as you eat, but it can be so nice to find a little something to just give each person before they eat, we usually find keyrings or novelty USBs or something similar that represents that person's' hobby, they don't add much to the cost of table decor and they always bring a smile!

This one has a simple red and white theme and it is so pretty! Not too fussy, just a few table decorations, your standard dinner and side plate/dinner and starter plate and a little table present. Perfect.

You could also add a little stocking to hold your cutlery like this one:

So cute! This would be a great addition to a kids table too!

So many different ways you can add little touches to really bring a table together, but I won't list anymore as this is getting pretty long, and i'm sure you don't want to see my endless list of christmas table decorations i've looked up! haha. Hope you like some of these ideas!

How do you decorate your Christmas table?
