A Rustic and Refound Christmas Table Setting Idea
Black & Gold Table Setting – A Rustic and Refound Christmas Table Setting Idea
Christmas in August???
A Rustic and Refound Christmas table setting idea.
Am I crazy? Maybe…;) I maybe living in a mixed-up seasonal world.
However, this might be the first time I’ve ever been early for a party.
It may be apparent that I have a keen interest in arranging tables for various occasions throughout the entire year.
So, when a Jeanne d’ Arc Living (see it here) photo shows up that you just love, maybe you want to duplicate it and put your own spin on it and that is all you can think about!
Details
The details in my Rustic and Refound Christmas table setting idea… Indeed, I incorporated my cowhide chairs, a drop cloth as a tablecloth, black misshapen plates, candles, twinkle lights, glass elements (crystal candle holders and found bottles), olive branches, and golden pinecones and pears, all in harmony with my rustic luxe style.
A Simple Centerpiece Idea
A simple centerpiece idea started with candles. Because I might be a bit obsessed with candles.
Candles and Twinkle Lights
Using white candles I placed them into crystal candlesticks. I incorporated large green pillar candles into mercury glass holders for an extra touch of green, along with gold mercury glass votives. To add a sprinkle of magic, I wove a string of battery-operated twinkle lights down the center, interspersed with pinecones gathered from a friend’s yard.
It’s All in the Details
Faux fruit – pears were purchased at the Dollar Store and spray-painted gold.
I think the golden pears just add that additional touch of a Midas touch.
Down the center of the table, I scattered gold pinecones along with sprigs of olive branches tucked into clear glass bottles.
Added Greenery
Found bottles are filled with additional sprigs of foraged olive branches from trees on my property.
Olive branches with green berries. Even better.
Did you know that an olive branch is a symbol of peace and friendship?
A little fitting for a Christmas inspired tablescape.
Wrapped presents in white butcher paper were added & we already talked about those twinkle lights…
Twinkle lights add a little more cheer.
On The Table
This tablescape is all about that rustic luxe & vintage.
The Rustic
Painters drop cloth & shop rag napkins – purchased from Home Depot.
The mix of dinnerware – Black stoneware bowls & melamine salad plates from Marshalls.
Large black melamine plates – purchased from Joann’s.
Vintage & Collected
Vintage cream-colored teacups with gold-rimmed edges and gold-rimmed stemware, accompanied by vintage flatware, all collected from thrift stores and yard sales.
This is a table setting that is not too fancy or unattainable. I love it to be pretty, but I also want it to be practical, functional, and easy!
Without a lot of fuss, I tried to pay attention to detail.
The ensemble is cohesive and festive, yet retains a casual aspect.
I hope that I have inspired you to think outside of the box with my country decorating style.
Consider showcasing your beautiful vintage dinnerware. Implement your creative DIY ideas. Incorporate some simple recipes. Perhaps initiate some new Christmas traditions.
