Woodland Wonderland

For this rustic-meets-refined look, a solid black tablecloth creates a clean base for a black-and-white buffalo plaid table runner and matching napkins. This crisp, wintry color scheme is warmed with touches of vivid red for a high-contrast combo. Woodsy details, like fresh-cut greenery and mini pine trees, plus a guest-impressing (and delicious!) Birch Yule Log centerpiece will make this table setting the talk of the season.

A Roulade to Remember

A centerpiece that doubles as dessert, this birch log looks fresh from the forest but it's actually a delicious cake. Made using white chocolate candy bark that covers a soft, delectable pumpkin roll, it's covered with candy-coated mushrooms made with almond paste and cookies, and it rests on a mossy bed of ground pistachios.

Rustic Elegance

Birch bark-covered containers, filled with green ball dianthus, rich red flowers and fresh evergreens, add an elegant yet woodsy touch to this holiday table. Create your own woodland vases by covering upcycled coffee cans with pieces of birch bark, or even birch-printed scrapbook paper if real birch bark is not available. Simply adhere the bark to the coffee can using hot glue.

Sparkling Silver

Silver accents, such as platinum-edged china and gleaming chargers, enhance the crisp winter color scheme of black and red. The Christmas holiday is also a perfect opportunity to incorporate sentimental heirloom pieces such as Grandmother’s silver.

Fresh Pine

Make small branches of natural evergreen clippings into napkin rings by stripping needles off the lower part of each branch, and using the natural flexibility of the fresh branches to create a loop to pull the napkin through. Tie on a red velvet bow for a flash of color.

Berry Best

Add fresh cranberries to goblets of white wine for even more holiday cheer and seasonal flavor.

Natural Beauty

These woodland twig place card holders will make your guests feel extra special, and you can forage for supplies in your own backyard (or a friend’s). Simply attach two twigs of similar size together with a few dots of hot glue along the bottom. Glue on a tiny sprig of fresh evergreen for an added natural detail.

Details, Details!

Enhance the winter woodland theme of your tablescape with small, flocked or bottlebrush trees and red or white votive candles spread around the table. Red, matte glass ornaments used as table scatter also add to the atmosphere.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice setting your table well in advance of your gathering so you can make small adjustments as needed. This will ensure that guests have plenty of elbow room and dinner conversation can flow naturally. When the day arrives, your pre-party prep will ensure that your table will be picture perfect.
