Beauty is everywhere. Just look outside your window and there is a world of opportunity to decorate with. So often we rush to the store to buy our decor, but I prefer to consider what I already have then go to the store to supplement.

This simple Christmas table setting starts with my pomegranate table runner, my everyday dishes, casual linens & is trimmed with leftover cinnamon sticks & snips of greenery.

It’s casual and cozy – just how I like our guests to feel when sharing dinner with us! While I love using china, it’s not necessary – it’s a personal choice. If you don’t have any, I encourage you to incorporate your everyday dinnerware. It’s all about the company anyways, isn’t it?

Our china is buried safely in boxes in our yet-to-be unpacked basement. I look forward to unpacking more in January, but for now, I’m just enjoying the season. I hope you are too!

Tip: add pillows and throws to make your dining room as comfortable as your living room, especially if you’re planning a long meal or games to follow!

Setting a table for Christmas with a diy edible centerpiece

I usually set up a self serve bar, but always keep bottles of wine at the table for convenience along with a pitcher of water.

Any time you preset a dinner table, it just feels a little more special. Even if you’re serving buffet style, place something at each place setting, a charger, or even napkins with utensils and a little sprig will do!
