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.

How to create the Perfect Seasonal Table

Creating a table is personal but there are several basis steps to follow

  • select your table linens
  • pick a centrepiece
  • add plates
  • place silverwear
  • pick some fun salt and pepper shakers
  • find cool trinkets around your home
  • make it personal, name cards, napkin folds or even little treats for guests
  • step back and admire your table
