Why table decorations are more than just decoration
A lovingly designed table decoration turns every dinner into an experience. It tells a story, emphasises the special nature of the occasion and gives guests a warm welcome. Especially at Christmas, the celebration of family and friendship, it's worth putting in a little extra effort.
This winter table decoration is all about elegance and winter nature. With just a few, but carefully selected elements, we create a setting that is both stylish and cosy.
Materials and colours: The basis for a festive ambience
The colour palette plays a decisive role in every table decoration. For this concept, we rely on:
Blue: In various shades - from ice blue to dark blue - blue brings calm and elegance to the table.
White: As a neutral base tone, white provides lightness and allows other colours to shine.
Silver: Shimmering accents lend the setting a festive touch.
Tip: Opt for materials that look natural and are appealing to the touch. Eucalyptus, fir branches and fine cotton or linen fabrics are ideal.
The perfect foundation: linen tablecloth in ice blue
A tablecloth is the basis of every successful decoration. This year we have opted for a Linen tablecloth in ice blue was chosen. It stands out subtly from the classic white and brings a touch of freshness and modernity to the setting. The cool colour harmonises perfectly with the other wintry tones and forms a calm base on which the rest of the decoration can shine.
Step-by-step: How to set up the table decorations successfully
Start with the ice blue tablecloth as a base. Place the PEARL tableware from Costa Nova. With its beaded edge, it is reminiscent of snowballs and creates a beautiful connection to the silver Christmas tree baubles that we use in the table decorations.
An opulent garland serves as the centrepiece. The florist Rieke from Milles Fleurs from Hanover used for this:
Eucalyptus and fir branches
Silver and blue Christmas tree baubles - this is also a good opportunity to recycle old Christmas tree baubles if you don't want to decorate the tree in the same colour every year
Small LED fairy lights for a subtle glow
Arrange the garland so that it runs loosely through the centre of the table. Make sure it is not too high so that guests can see each other easily.
Candles: Choose candles in different heights and shades of blue to create a warm lighting atmosphere. We have used the hand-painted taper candles from Ester & Erik with colour numbers 5, 31 and 48.
In our shop we have a Set of 12 pointed candles in these 3 colours compiled.
For the cutlery we recommend Silver cutlery - you can do that Argento cutlery from our decorations hire, or perhaps one of Grandma's? It gives the table a nostalgic charm and fits in perfectly with the elegant overall look.
Fun fact about silver cutlery
Did you know that silver cutlery was considered a status symbol in the Middle Ages and was even used as a health precaution? It was believed that silver had antibacterial properties and protected against illness. This is where the expression "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" comes from - a reference to wealth and health!
Small details with a big impact
Napkins: High-quality napkins are suitable for Linen napkins in off-white, which you decorate with small twigs or silver ribbons.
TIP: The eucalyptus flower buds not only look very bizarre, they also look as if they are covered in hoarfrost. A great detail for a winter table decoration
Glasses: Blue crystal glasses from Villeroy & Boch emphasise the elegance and round off the look.
Place cards: Handwritten cards add a personal touch.
Focus on sustainability
Sustainability is also possible with festive decorations. Here are a few ideas:
