A beautiful tablescape can seem like an intimidating prospect, especially when you’ve seen so many examples of polished finished products. But if you break down the elements of a good tablescape, you’ll find that a gorgeous, easy, and wallet-friendly solution isn’t very far away!
Before you start, take some time to consider the look you’re after, and gather up supplies.
5. Play with tradition.
There are a lot of different ways you can incorporate holiday icons into your tablescape. For fall events, it’s easy and fun to decorate pumpkins and leaves; cover them in glitter or spray paint them another color. Scoop out a big pumpkin and fill it with punch, or smaller ones can be used for soup bowls. For later in season, string Christmas lights over the table, or jumble them into glass jars. Make oversized paper or felt snowflakes and use them as placemats!
A welcoming tablescape is the perfect way to start off a holiday gathering. And once you’ve gotten comfortable with the basics of a good tablescape, it will become easier and easier to mix and match different pieces, making a beautiful new arrangement each time.
