Today I did a last minute dash to our local $2 shop to grab some accessories to dress our Christmas table. Before I set off, I did a quick internet search for Christmas table themes for some inspiration. Here are some of my favourites this year…
1. Red and white
This colour scheme is a classic. Use lots of ornaments and little details for a traditional look, or keep it clean to make a contemporary statement.
2. Candy Canes
Following on from the red and white theme, Candy Canes can be used in lots of creative ways on your Christmas table – as part of your centrepiece like the below vase, or as placecard holders. They’re fun, inexpensive, and edible!
3. Timeless white
White is a timeless choice for a Christmas table setting, and can be easily combined with silver and gold.
4. Inspired by nature
There’s something magical about including traditional winter Christmas plants, such as pine, holly and pine cones on your Christmas table. Whilst it might be hard to get fresh holly in Australia, you can use any type of pine (sprigs of humble conifer work well), dried pine cones, or Poinsettia (which is readily available around Christmas time). You could also play around with beautiful Australian natives, such as Eucalyptus leaves, Christmas Bush, Grevillea, Waratah and Kangaroo Paw which often come in lovely shades of red.
5. Contemporary teal
Teal Christmas decorations are everywhere this year – this colour is really on-trend. Teal works really well with silver or white and is a refreshing choice for a summer Christmas.
6. Novelty
