Twinkly lights, Christmas carols and the smell of fresh cut pine…
with a bit of romance and blooms.
When it comes to holiday table settings, I am big on gathering up all the ambiance
that comes with the season-
and sprinkling a little bit of romantic magic on it.
And the other day… I played outdoors doing just that and
I gathered up some of my favorite elements for a romantic inspired Christmas table.
Like fresh juniper and cedar clippings
some of my favorite dishes
and pretty blue stemware.
I started by layering cedar and eucalyptus down the center.
I have a major love affair with that look that cedar has draping down
but truth be told- I am allergic.
I didn’t realize that was the culprit of my itching and non stop sneezing and coughing
until a couple of years ago when I draped my headboard in cedar for Christmas.
Good times… but hey, it looked good.
I bring out the cedar even so and use it anywhere and everywhere I can (other than the bedroom)
and it is a perfect green for a table centerpiece.
Even better- you can pick up a simple pre-made fresh garland and call it good.
Up next,
I added 3 small vases of peonies and ranunculus for a pop of pretty color.
These candles are some of my favorites- I love the way the glass looks like a vintage hobnail or pincushion glass.
And speaking of favorites,
these dishes are some of my absolute favorites.
They are covered in details, details, details…
The pea gravel patio is pretty much my all time favorite spot to set a table.
There is so much natural beauty all around out in this area.
And those twinkling lights in the background are where the fire pit is set up in the orchard.
You will be seeing more of the fire pit area and much more
in my Holiday Housewalk post tomorrow.
And today I am joining several blog friends who are also sharing holiday table inspiration.
Up next is Amy from Maison Decor– and I know you will love her table setting-
and stop by each of the other bloggers sharing their tables as well.
