Christmas by tradition is Red and green but times have been a changing and the modern Christmas can be almost any theme or colour. The traditional Christmas Angel atop the tree has flown her wings in many houses and now flowers/butterflies and bows can be seen, even the Eiffel tower is not amiss on top of a tree. There seems to be no right or wrong. So, with this in mind my Christmas table follows my Purple/Mauve and silver theme and my Christmas tree has sprigs of mauve hydrangea amongst its decorations.
I used vintage silver cutlery and serving ware and combined with some gorgeous Laura Ashley glasses and two beautiful hurricane lamps, also from Laura Ashley. A simple setting for six. I used little silver stars and some mauve crystals to decorate the table. The small tree was from the Christmas Heirloom Company and decorated by myself.
A cosy setting for 6
The little purple & silver boxes will hold some Rocky Road Bark for my guests. I love the fine gauzy linen tablecloth, purchased from a little shop in St Heliers called "Distinctive Linens."
Instead of using serviette rings I used two organza ribbons and tied a bow to soften the look of the table.
These exquisite glasses are from Laura Ashley - Wide platinum band optic

A close up of this gorgeous glass - I scattered little silver stars on the table. I also scattered some purple crystals
These sweet "Merry Xmas" silver metal tags from Le Monde NZD$12 for 6 (great to tie to gifts/crackers or serviettes)
Zzzzz...says Poppy who was quite put out by the lack of attention during the photo shoot.
I hope you found some inspiration
for your own Christmas table setting.
