Whether you prefer to go all-out festive, or just enjoy a subtle Christmas-themed touch here and there, we&#8217;ve got something for you in our round up below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quirky Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not fond of the whole traditional &#8216;red and green&#8217; Christmas, think outside the box and try something quirky this year. We love this fun place setting idea (below), which features a pair of old mittens per place setting. Head to your local supermarket to pick up mittens on the c heap, and try using the same colour, or mix it up with a different coloured pair per guest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/251c627426be3c908347169c3ca5a21e.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1398  aligncenter\" title=\"Festive-place-setting\" alt=\"251c627426be3c908347169c3ca5a21e\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/251c627426be3c908347169c3ca5a21e.jpg\" width=\"259\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The traditional Christmas table setting is the easiest to do, as let&#8217;s face it, you really can&#8217;t escape the red and green colour scheme at this time of year. Nor will you find a shop that doesn&#8217;t stock stunning wreaths or beautiful real Christmas trees. We like this simple yet elegant table setting below, which uses a pretty deep red carnation, alongside some artificial berries and a couple of mini baubles. Elsewhere on your table, dot tea lights around, along with gorgeous crackers and a huge festive table centre to provide the focal point of your display.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/0ea0f2834cdcc5919a6bbea7d5d54b55.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1394  aligncenter\" title=\"Berries-and-flowers-Christmas-setting\" alt=\"0ea0f2834cdcc5919a6bbea7d5d54b55\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/0ea0f2834cdcc5919a6bbea7d5d54b55.jpg\" width=\"236\" height=\"236\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Try pairing a pale coloured table runner with a festive trim as a blank canvas for layering vibrant patterns and shades.<\/p>\n<p>Vintage cake stands also make pretty table centres; simply pile them high with baubles (you&#8217;ll need to use sticky tack or super glue to hold them in place) or add a huge pillar candle and some berries.<\/p>\n<p>Individual baubles can also be added to dinner plates for a festive touch, while candy canes added to the rim of wine glasses look great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/0c15d19ab2229ffe77381bc375227358.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1408  aligncenter\" title=\"Christmas-place-settings\" alt=\"0c15d19ab2229ffe77381bc375227358\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/0c15d19ab2229ffe77381bc375227358.jpg\" width=\"235\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We also love this simple yet elegant place setting above, which uses gorgeous berries and a pretty napkin ring, paired with neutrally-coloured tableware.<\/p>\n<p>How do you like to dress your table for Christmas?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s December, which means it&#8217;s officially time to start thinking (and talking!) about Christmas \u00a0&#8211; hooray!
