12 Days of Christmas Ideas 2016 – Day 8
As another Christmas comes around, I again have had the pleasure of creating a holiday table setting. The inspiration for this year’s Christmas ideas was largely influenced by two very different styles, the rustic farmhouse look and classic elegance. I wanted to blend the two styles together to create something classic yet festive. The key elements in achieving this look were the careful use of the black and white gingham along with the white ceramic reindeer antlers.I had a great deal of fun putting this look together with big thanks to the following collaborators:
- Floral work by Gather & Twine
- White Ceramic Antlers & Reindeer Votives from Dreaming of Christmas
- Chairs & Rose Gold Cutlery hired from Grandeur Events
- Black Wine Glasses hired from Insphire
- Parisian Goblets hired from Covers Decoration Hire
- Place setting tags by Susan Wong Stampin’ Up Demonstrator
- Photography: WonderFerris
- Styling, napkins, ribbons and crockery from As You Wish Events.
The two different types of glasses worked beautifully together.
The gold cutlery and votives added some needed bling that lifted the overall look.
The tags and rosemary in the centre of the napkins gave it that added touch.
