Choosing the right Concept.

The first step is to decide on a main idea /color which will lead throughout the entire table setting

Tables and Tablecloth

Which table will you be using? Round, Regular or squared table? Will you add a few tables together or maybe set a few single tables for instance an extra table for the kids? Either way, dressing the table with the right tablecloths would bring the desired effect. You could decide on an elegant plain tablecloth or a contrast of 2 or more tablecloths. Allowing it to reach the floor brings an elegant gallivanting look like a wedding gown.

Color scheme                                                                                                     

It is important to select one dominant color for the table to give it the right impression and create the festive atmosphere. Keep in mind that the colors impact our senses.

To create a rich luxurious look, the best choice would be gold or silver. For more a fun scheme, red or green would do perfect. If you would like more a calm surrounding you likely to choose white, cream or pastel colors.

Centerpieces

If you are setting a long table add a centerpiece like candles or flowers the results: an elegant looking festive affair just make sure it is not too tall or big serving as barrier to the diners.

Dishes

The holiday puts us in a festive mood so we would use either traditional white dishes or with bright colored dishes like royal blue or red. A luxurious touch is very important, the best is to add an extra cup for wine near the regular drinking glass.

And last but not least all the little elements that add so much to the entire setting. There is no way to set an elegant party table without the table's jewelry, napkin rings for Christmas, check out our wide selection of napkin rings matching every style and color.

To add a touch of taste put in some napkins in a unique napkin holder.

Wine bottle stoppers for all your wine bottles you will be using at the party. After you or your guest pour yourself a glass from your favorite bottle of wine, guarantee that the wine stays fresh and tastes just as good the next day and bring the party to the next level with our Holiday Hued Red /Green Gem Flower Topped Wine Stopper.
