Christmas Plaid Table Setting

Last Updated on 2020-12-28 by Linda

It is almost Christmas Eve and a time for a new table. Well actually doesn’t matter really the day I am always up for a new table setting. We had our Annual Open House on Saturday and I received a beautiful centrepiece floral arrangement. Inspiration struck and I decided that would make a perfect accent for a Christmas Plaid Table.

My Red Plaid table first appeared on the blog in 2015. I had created a fun Christmas table although by today’s standard maybe a bit crowded lol. No matter I adored it at the time. Fast forward to modern day and my new vision of Holiday hurray.

Christmas Plaid Table

My first seasonal table is red and plaid, I love this tablecloth, its so “In” for the year.Actually it is in for the season every year don’t you think. Red plaid screams country celebrations or down home comfort. As I said earlier the centerpiece was a gift and isn’t it beautiful. The candle is cinnamon so it also smells like Christmas.

The best thing about a Christmas table, anything goes. What ever your colour choice or decor the table is yours to create. Match it to your tree or to a theme, what makes you happy. For me I like to change it and cover all “palettes”. I have gone Gold, sometimes Pink, blue, you name it anything can work.

Today is a far more traditional setting. Adding in aspects from my Snowman Table of last year. I have not recreated the snowman with plates but I did add in a fun placecard holder. Did you Notice?

Creating a Holiday Table

Once the colour is determined and your linens are selected you need to move on to furnishing the table. I start with the centrepiece and then move to chargers. That then determines plates, accents and of course a napkin design. While in Bangor i found these adorable Snowman hat place card holders at Hobby Lobby. And I may have carried them by hand home on the plane. Priorities people priorities.

Reindeer knife rests, green chargers and red plates help create the mood. Adding in a few naughty and nice plates from Rae Dunn also adds to the charm. I recreated a few fav napkin designs the elf hat and the elf boot.
