Okay,
Christmas Day is not today, but those who have been following me know that each
year I share my Christmas table decor. I am fond of beautiful tables, they are
a promise of a great moment to come.
In my
eyes a table must be elegant and yet practical. My motto “always plan smart so
you don’t break the bank”.
Having
said that, this year I have been using things I had in my trunk, notably an
Indian burgundy table runner embroidered with a gold pattern and a large golden
plate with Indian reliefs. I can say that my Christmas table decoration
inspiration stemmed from these two things.
I used
white table linen and white napkins which are a great way to keep a table
feeling airy and clear. They make the other colours seem to jump right off the
table. This is the case with the burgundy Indian table runner gives a twist of
fantasy without overwhelming the table.
Burgundy and pink candles
Bag of chocolate
To
this, I added red and fuchsia candles. I find the combination of burgundy and fuchsia
to be gorgeous. The fuchsia brings light and softness to the dark and intense
burgundy. I continued the decoration with some trinkets, DIY napkin ring,
green branches from my local market and, of course, bags of chocolate provided
the final touch...

I hope you enjoyed this decor and my tips to make a dream decoration for this Christmas.
