The Christmas season is upon us and the most important thing you'll be thinking about (besides presents), if you're hosting, is how to set your table for Christmas. The table is the heart of all festive gatherings. It's a place for everyone to come together and reconnect after a busy year. It's a place for people to enjoy good food and drinks and celebrate the joy of Christmas.
This year, we want to help you set your Christmas table to suit your aesthetic and vibe.
Traditional Charm
Start with your napery. A nice linen tablecloth is the perfect base to a traditional Christmas table. Our range of Momento Hampton tablecloths are stylish and timeless. Add a pop of colour with red Stevens Fringe placemats. Layer in core dinnerware. A beautiful white dinnerware such as Momento Como or Momento Aspen is a great staple for everyday use or special occasions. It also gives you a great base to work with when decorating your Christmas table as you can bring in pops of colour elsewhere. Adding a dinner plate, side plate and entree plate is essential for Christmas entertaining. A formal setting table not only looks sharp but will impress your guests come Christmas Day. Tie in the gold theme through gold jingle bell napkin rings, Momento glint glassware gold tealight candle holders and gold cutlery. Add in white linen napkins to complement the dinnerware and add a touch of Christmas. Christmas tables are a great time to get creative and decorate with different Christmas trinkets. Add red and white christmas houses with tealights for a cute touch. Add Christmas serveware such as the Celebrate Christmas range with red and white bowls, pate knives and salt and pepper shakers. Finally dress your table with Christmas crackers and start adding food. Now you have set a beautiful, traditional table that your guests will love!
Rustic Christmas
Whatever your style, a rustic Christmas table is trending at the moment. Think pops of autumnal colours - greens, golds, greys - that all combine to create a table setting that is different but eye-catching. Start by laying down a grey linen tablecloth. This creates the base of your table, a starting point where all the Christmas festivies will take place. Add a pop of green with the Momento Willow table runner and fabric napkins and add Stevens Fringe placemats in green to each place setting. Next layer in grey dinnerware. The Fine 2 Dine Nova dinnerware range is exceptional quality with a unique design. made from high-fired porcelain, each piece has a unique, reactive glaze that creates different patterns on each piece. Add plates, side plates and entree plates from this range to each setting and dress with gold cutlery. For contrast, add a grey Fine 2 Dine dinner plate on the bottom and a white Momento Como entree plate on top. Add other serving pieces in the Fine 2 Dine range to complete your table and add food. Bring in a festive touch with the Momento Glint glassware and add other Christmas decorations to the centre of your table/wall. This could be through Christmas trees or wreaths, candle holders and christmas crackers. This is a timeless look that can be trans-seasonal taking you through from Christmas to winter entertaining.
