3 Easy Ideas
For Decorating Your Christmas Table In Red, Green & Gold
A blanket of snow dappled with green, gold and red all over; Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It does not matter which part of the world you live in, a White Christmas is what dreams are made of; along with the sound of sleigh bells and Christmas carols and the smell of chestnuts roasting over open fires. Decorating your home for Christmas can be as elaborate or simple as you'd like.
Shopping for Christmas decorations can be an overwhelming experience. Should you stick with the traditional colors of red, green and gold or should you go in for the all-white wintery look? Even if you are on a limited budget, no need to despair. You can choose any theme you wish and achieve any look you desire with a few innovative and creative ideas. Bring the warmth and joy of a traditional Christmas into your home with these simple and easy ideas for decorating your Christmas table in red, green and gold.
Traditional Christmas Table in Red, Green & Gold
A traditional wreath placed in the centre of your table makes a perfect centerpiece and works to tie all the elements together. Whether your wreath is large or small depends upon your budget as well as the size of your table. If you have a theme in mind, whether it is Christmas bells or red velvet bows, use it as a starting point for decorating the wreath. Poinsettias and holly look striking against a traditional green wreath that is swathed in a broad gold ribbon. One large red or gold candle or a candle bra with differing heights placed inside the wreath adds a certain elegance and warmth to this beautiful centerpiece.
It's easier to decorate the rest of the table once you've completed your wreath; just carry out the same theme with your table napkins and even your dining chairs if you wish. White napkins tied in curly red, gold and green ribbons look beautiful and classy while keeping with your color theme. Or else use two napkins of different colors, either red and gold or green and red; roll them tightly and separately and tie them together with a beautiful wired ribbon in the third color for an elegant yet funky look. If you've got bells on your wreath, attach a bell to the end of the ribbon to keep with the theme. Plates, glasses and table mats in complementary colors, complete the look along with little decorative snow men and tiny snowflakes scattered everywhere.
Contemporary Christmas Table in Red, Green & Gold
A row of hurricane lamps in red, green and gold placed down the center of your table creates a completely different look and yet stays within your color scheme. Complement this with plenty of stemware brimming with green, gold and red beads or glass marbles in assorted colors. The beads and marbles twinkle and shine by the light of the hurricane lamps adding a magical touch to your Christmas table. Choose napkins in red, green or gold and tie each one with two strings of beads in the remaining two colors to complete the look. Use long strands of beads and ribbons in various combinations of red, green and gold and let them flow around your hurricane lamps and other decorative pieces that are placed on the table.
Heart-Warming Christmas Table in Red, Green & Gold
Think outside the box when decorating your table for Christmas. Hand made decorations add warmth and charm to any Christmas table. For a one-of-a-kind Christmas table decoration, get a miniature Christmas tree for each member of the family and get them to decorate their tree any way they want to. Placing the decorated Christmas trees down the center of the table will add an abundance of warmth that can rival the most sumptuous Christmas table decoration.
