How to decorate your Christmas table?

The first thing is to dress your table 

The expert Almudena González who gave our QeChic- Las Rozas workshop. He stated that something very important is the choice of a good tablecloth and napkins. And as something optional and that is ideal to highlight and decorate the center even more, a table runner.

The texture, the fabric and the color will be details that you will not be able to ignore overlooked for presentation. Therefore, remember to check a few days before that the tablecloth and napkins that you are going to use do not have any stains. 

Centerpieces are essential in these presentations

Remember that all objects that we put on the table must have a function. In the case of the centerpieces, it is normal for us to remove them to place the rest of the appetizers. However, we will leave them placed on the table if the dishes are served directly on the plate.

And, finally, if you don't buy them, you can make them yourself by putting together some pretty Christmas balls, natural pine cones, leaves, garlands with natural fir or pine branches, candles and details of small ornaments decorative.

And what about the dishes? 

Of course they are special celebrations to decorate your table with the best finery. For this we will use the best tableware we have for these occasions. It is clear that the thing goes of tastes. Well, lovers of the purest and most classic color can opt for white and gold tableware that brings elegance and distinction to our table and that combines with other ornaments or pieces of kitchenware. to perfection.

However, a nod to nature for those who want to get away from Christmas classics and bet on trends, the tableware with floral motifs is a good choice.

And bet on a safe value? Plain crockery is simple and as if it were a wardrobe staple, it never goes out of style and always comes in handy for these occasions.

Another option is crockery with reliefs of all kinds: square, circular or rectangular. The geometric motifs are ideal and provide a distinguished elegance.

You can find all of them in the Portuguese brand Vista Alegre.

Crystal cannot be missing 

Let's not forget the drinks that are the main protagonists of these events. Their placement is extremely important so that the diner feels as comfortable as possible when accessing them. Therefore, we advise you not to place them arbitrarily and that you try a little more.

First, place the essentials without overloading the table too much. In general, we usually use a glass for water and another for wine, for example. So, place these to the right side on top about an inch or so from the plates.

The first glass will be the water, which is the largest, followed by the glass of red wine, which is usually the smallest. And finally, the champagne glass that will be placed to the right of the rest of the glasses.

Cutlery, not only for eating 

As for colour, the golden sparkles are perfect for adding an elegant and chic touch to our evening. Bet on them with the lower plates, cutlery or the golden edges on the tableware. On the other hand, you can present your cutlery with a classic such as silver. It never fails and it will also give an elegant touch, easily combining with the rest of the decorative details and tableware.

And finally we leave you the steps to follow to place a perfect Christmas table.
