On the Internet, you can find many beautiful and sophisticated options for decorating the festive table.

On the Internet, you can find many beautiful and sophisticated options for decorating the festive table. But in most cases, they are completely impractical - instead of making room for the dish, they force it with flowers and decor. It would seem that it is impossible to simply and quickly decorate the table for the holiday with your own hands - but we will tell you how to do it.

 

Decoration of the place for each guest

This option can be considered optimal for family holidays, since the middle of the table is freed for dishes, and all decorations and decor are neatly laid out around the guests' plates. It can be small flowers, name cards, napkins and candles - the main thing is that the elements of the composition are combined with each other.

Individual gifts

Even if you still want to decorate the center of the table with a small bouquet and finish with it, we still advise you to arrange personalized souvenirs, flyers with wishes or nice gifts (for example, beautifully packaged sweets) on plates - this way you will show attention to each of the guests.

 

Natural flowers

Opinions about the place of fresh flowers on the table are different: some consider them superfluous, others consider them an indispensable attribute of the festive table. We stick to the golden mean: if you do not want to decorate the place of each guest with an individual bouquet, attach a few small flowers to the foot of the glasses, or arrange rosebuds between the plates - this will give the table a freshness.

 

color accents

A festive table cannot be decorated in all the colors of the rainbow - it will simply irritate the eye. But you can choose the optimal range - for example, dilute white dishes and a tablecloth with burgundy napkins and roses; lay a plain tablecloth and match dishes with monochrome accents to it; or add some bright decor - candles and figurines. Do not forget that a lot depends on the tablecloth - it should serve as a background, collect all the elements together, but not irritate the eye.

Seasonal decorations

What to do if you really want to decorate the table with flowers and plants, and it's winter outside? In this case, dried flowers, cones, sprigs of pine needles or rosemary will come to the rescue. Do not forget that the decor can be painted in any color - gold paint is a popular solution. 

 

Candles

We have repeatedly recalled the candles on the festive table - they really look impressive. But they can become a source of fire or burns for guests - just reach out unsuccessfully to the plate. If you want to light a fire, place candles in the center of the table on high candlesticks - this way you will protect both the guests and the holiday itself.

Napkins

Napkins are not only an element of table setting that every guest needs, but also part of the decor. Often it is napkins that are incorrectly matched in color to spoil the impression of the entire table decoration. We advise you to follow not only the color, but also the material: it is unlikely that paper products will create a feeling of a pompous holiday. In addition, pay attention to the shape - there is no need to overload the already small table with massive figures from fabric napkins.
