Tablescapes

COLOR POP
Stuart Scalia’s tablescape, crafted with treasures from Walsworth & Co., is a stunning example of how nontraditional colors can create a festive holiday setting. Her inspiration stemmed from the beautiful salad plates, which featured a palette of pinks, greens, and blues—unexpected for Christmas yet delightfully cohesive. These tones carried through the tablescape with colored glassware and soft blue feather trees, creating a whimsical and elegant look. A floral arrangement, essential to Stuart’s vision, echoed the palette with green vegetable roses, soft pink ranunculus, burgundy mini calla lilies, and lush peonies, adding vibrancy and sophistication. To elevate the table further, she artfully knotted the napkins and adorned them with small pieces of velvet ribbon, a subtle but charming detail that completed this enchanting holiday scene.

OH, CHRISTMAS TREE
Kate Ashley’s tablescape, crafted with finds from The Muffin Tin and The Trenton House, is a festive masterpiece blending traditional charm with vibrant elegance. At the heart of the design, a gold vase brimming with hypericum berries, red carnations, and ranunculus in varying hues commands attention, surrounded by green paper trees and whimsical green-and-white nutcrackers standing watch. Each place setting, from the Arte Italica Natale Collection, features delicate holly and Christmas tree motifs, paired with Lenox flatware and sparkling Waterford crystal for a timeless holiday look. Red linen napkins subtly echo the floral centerpiece, while glittering poinsettias nestled in each bowl offer guests a delightful and festive surprise. This tablescape radiates holiday cheer with every thoughtful detail.

NOD TO NOSTALGIA
Brandi Brownlee Thomas crafted a breathtaking Christmas tablescape using treasures from Material Things, blending elegance with festive whimsy. At its heart, a stunning swan container stole the show as the centerpiece, brimming with vibrant red gladiolas, pristine white lilies, and lush evergreen sprigs. Draped from the chandelier, festive plaid ribbons and magnolia leaves added a touch of Southern charm, while red and green Christmas tree candlesticks punctuated the table with holiday cheer. Inspired by Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, a woodland squirrel and reindeer figurines brought playful enchantment to the scene. Layering a traditional Christmas tablecloth with a ruffled black-and-white gingham cloth created a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance, perfectly complemented by black-and-white striped candlesticks. The result was a magical and inviting holiday tablescape, full of festive charm.

MERRY AND BRIGHT
Lauren Roebuck’s tablescape, created for her business Lauren Roebuck Designs, captures the essence of a fun and whimsical Christmas with layers of texture and festive charm. A variety of Christmas trees in different textures, colors, and sizes form the foundation of the design, intertwined with lush cedar garland and glittering red and green holly garland. Adding movement and sparkle, red glamour rope winds through the centerpiece, accented by round gold ornaments and striking red finial ornaments. Each place setting features gold chargers, harlequin-patterned napkins in red, green, and white, and glamorous crystal rock napkin rings. Clear glasses with gold rims elevate the design, while red bows tied to each chair provide the perfect finishing touch. Lauren credits her success to God and the talent He has given her, along with the invaluable support of her team, Jenifer and Destiny. This magical tablescape is a testament to her passion and creative vision.

FESTIVE FUSION
Clinton Downing’s tablescape is a captivating fusion of his love for Christmas and Asian-inspired décor, resulting in a truly unique and festive setting. Brass flatware from India is elegantly paired with vibrant Japanese china, while delicate blanco geisha figurines and bold red stemware add an air of sophistication. The centerpiece is a magical composition of red cabbage roses, cedar, hypericum berries, and pale blue glitter snowflakes, blending traditional holiday elements with an exotic twist. Snow scatter is artfully sprinkled across the table, enhancing the winter wonderland feel and tying together this one-of-a-kind holiday display.

FESTIVE DEPARTURE
Shawn Brazzell’s Christmas tablescape is a bold yet festive departure from traditional holiday colors, showcasing an elegant and unexpected palette. At its center, a stunning arrangement of fresh flowers from Carlstedts—including white peonies, Queen Anne’s lace, straw flowers, and cascading amaranthus—creates a lush and vibrant focal point. Brass candlesticks topped with cut crystal Christmas balls from Walsworth & Co. add height and sparkle, striking a balance against the bold floral hues. Green and copper velvet ribbons accent moss-covered balls scattered around the arrangement, while a beautifully crafted nativity scene from Walsworth & Co. and greenery lining the table provide a classic Christmas touch. Vintage Queen Anne’s china and crystal stemware are paired with antique gold chargers, all set atop a striking tablecloth sourced from Mrs. Alice, adding drama and sophistication. Each place setting features a sweet touch: a small gift wrapped with green velvet ribbon and a wax seal. This bold and enchanting tablescape is truly a showstopper for the holiday season.
