Simple Holiday Tablescape

I always enjoy decorating for the holidays! There is something so magical about the twinkling lights and sparkly baubles all around. Entertaining guests is also usually on everyone’s agenda, so I pulled together a Simple Holiday Tablescape to share some festive decorating inspiration!

I’m so glad you are here!

My simple holiday tablescape is just one stop on the Celebrate Christmas Blog Hop. Leen, my friend from Sand Dollar Lane, has rounded up some amazing talent to share holiday home tours, DIY gift ideas, and tablescapes/centerpieces.

If you are stopping by from The French Blue Cottage or are new to the blog, welcome!

One of my favorite parts of putting together a tablescape is being able to shop my home and find different pieces to incorporate into the design. And it is so easy this time of year because there are items that would work all around.

Table Setting Garland

As a starting point, I laid a simple garland on top of an old scarf down the center of my table as a runner. I love to create table runners from unique and unexpected items. Then, I kept layering pieces of interest on top.

Some cute faux antlers, black and white striped ribbon, the most inexpensive DIY hurricane candle holders…

A small strand of white twinkle lights, and ornaments straight from the Christmas tree all help the centerpiece come together.

For each table setting, I gathered up neutral pieces including my favorite striped napkins.

I even whipped up these cute ornament place cards with curled strips of paper inside featuring each guests’ name.

This tablescape was so easy to put together. Anyone could do the same by simply borrowing holiday decor items from around your own home and throwing in a little creativity.

Love your white table Erin. It makes a beautiful backdrop for the lovely green garland and silver accents in your table runner decorations. Super smart using the scarf too for added texture!

Your table looks beautiful, Erin! I love how you layered the greenery over the scarf to add some texture to your table. The ornaments with your guests names curled inside are a wonderful touch for each place setting.
