I have been looking for red charger plates for 2 years. Not the plain round ones, but something different. When I saw these square chargers at Walmart recently I knew they were the ones. Finally, I would be able to use my tablecloth with red chargers on our Christmas table.
With a fairly "busy" patterned tablecloth, I knew I would want to keep things quite simple on top of it. A red and white table would be perfect!
I found a cute little bundle of red mercury glass ornaments at Home Sense. A great little splash of red on the white plates!
Napkins are such a fun decorating element. I had seen these sweet "Christmas Trees" online, and found a great tutorial HERE. I originally saw them with some beautiful vintage broaches pinned at the top as a star. So I went looking for something to use. I had one piece of textured scrapbooking paper. The color was exact!! I punched out my stars and then punched a small hole and looped some silver thread through for a hanger. Ours were used as a take home ornament, but they would be sweet with your guests name written on them for a place card.
For many years I have clustered white candles of all shapes and sizes at Christmas time. They have filled inside our fireplace, on the mantle, and the top of the piano. This year, I decided, a runner of candles would be magical on our Christmas Eve table.
I would have given my eye teeth for several of these red goblets. Unfortunately, Home Sense only had 2. So until I find more, they are wonderful pillar candle holders once turned upside down.

Thank you for visiting us on Christmas Eve! Our prayer is that the babe of the manger, the sinless lamb on the cross, and the risen and coming Lord, are a real and central part of your Christmas celebrations, and your New Year!
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12 NLT

Blessings!!
Tanya, this is breathtaking, the fabric is beautiful. The simplicity of the red and white dishes and the stunning display of warm candlelight is magical. Love it. Happy healthy New Year to you, and a special shout out to Nicole :) xo
ReplyDeleteVery nice table. The decor looks amazing! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteTanya, not everyone can pull off 'red'. One of the reasons you do it so well is that the hues you have chosen are highly compatible with each other (such a sense of unity on the table)and beautifully festive. I love all the added detail such as the stars,the special napkin fold, the tiny ornament on each plate. LOVE it all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
WOW-WEEEEE! This is a BEAUTIFUL table!! Love it, love it, love it! Good for you for holding out until you found these chargers!! Everything is awesome! Thanks for visiting me. I'm trying to follow you, but Blogger/Google isn't cooperating right now...will try again.
