White House Christmas Decor 2012 http://christmasdecorated.com/white-house-christmas-decor-2012/ http://christmasdecorated.com/white-house-christmas-decor-2012/#respond Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:49:34 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=577 Dining Room at the White House Decorated for Christmas 2012A dining room (0ne of several) at the White House, decorated for Christmas 2012. It looks so… well, relatively normal. You could almost picture any family sitting down to Christmas dinner here… (well, any middle-upper class family…).  Its kind of intimate in its own way. And very traditional.  Can’t you just see the Obama’s sitting here for Christmas dinner? And the President sneaking turkey scraps to Bo (their dog) under the table…?

How does your Christmas dining room decor compare to this…? Do you prefer this dining room to yours for Christmas?

Christmas Table Decorations – Red Balls http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-decorations-red-balls/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-decorations-red-balls/#respond Sat, 01 Dec 2012 10:40:53 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=517 Christmas Table Decoration s- Red Balls

Pretty Christmas Table decorations are created using red Christmas balls in three different ways. The result is cohesive, clean and visually stunning.

Red Christmas ball ornaments are piled on a cake platter with some Christmas greens nestled in among them. Glue the balls together with hot glue to prevent them from tumbling all over the table during dinner.

On either side of the pedestal cake stand are beautiful silver candle stick holders, and sitting on top of each, a red Christmas ball.

Notice the candlestick holders don’t have to match but should compliment eachother is appearance to avoid appearing ecclectic.

Also note the varying heights of the candle stick holders – this adds visual interest.

To tie the whole look together a red linen table cloth is used (with a white runner up the center) while green linen napkins are placed on each place setting.

Red votive candle holders are placed just in front of each place setting and a few more red ball ornaments are scattered here and there at the center of the table as the perfect finishing touch for Christmas Table Decorations.

Christmas Table Setting – Silver, White, and Gold http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-setting-ideas-silver-white-gold/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-setting-ideas-silver-white-gold/#respond Mon, 26 Nov 2012 01:10:48 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=292 Silver and White Christmas Place Setting

If you’re tired of the traditional bright red and green palettes at Christmas time, tone it down with this calming white, silver and gold palette.

Savor the magical feeling as iridescent bead garland glistens in the flickering glow of ivory candles in little silver votive pots, intermingled with flat star shaped ivory candles at the center of the table.

The china is plain, unadorned, classic white exemplifying the innate beauty of simplicty. Large silver snowflake and star ornaments are sprinkled around each place setting. And a sprig of ivory nestles on the left side of the dinner plate for a punch of contrast to the largely monochromatic look.

A single glittering gold Christmas ball ornament adorned with a sparkling silver ribbon sits at the center of each plate, serving as both a placecard holder and take home favor for guests.  The effect?  Absolutely magical.  This one gets my vote as one of the absolute BEST.

Christmas Centerpiece: Candles and Christmas Trees http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-centerpiece-candles-and-christmas-trees/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-centerpiece-candles-and-christmas-trees/#respond Sun, 25 Nov 2012 08:12:15 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=297 Christmas Centerpiece and Table Setting - Gold Trees and Candles

The magic of Christmas is captured perfectly with this Christmas Centerpiece and table setting. Photo: Conspicuous Style.

Glittering cone-shaped Christmas trees, sparkling Christmas tree candles, glistening silver pillar candles and assortment of votive candles in holders are gathered together in a large group down the center of the table where they sparkle in the glow of candlelight.

Gleaming silver candle holders housing white taper candles are placed at either end of the centerpiece arrangement, and green Christmas ball ornaments are nestled in among the candles for extra visual interest.

The entire presentation is placed on an olive green table runner, which runs the length of the rectangular table and matches the round, olive green place mats.

At each place setting, gray, white and gold china is placed upon a gold charger plate. Small Christmas tree-shaped candles sit atop each place setting and double as a take home favor for guests.

This one makes the list of Editor’s Picks for so wonderfully capturing the mood and magic of Christmas.

Christmas Table Setting Ideas – Purple and Green http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-setting-ideas-purple-and-green/ http://christmasdecorated.com/christmas-table-setting-ideas-purple-and-green/#respond Sun, 25 Nov 2012 06:47:52 +0000 http://christmasdecorated.com/?p=283

Purple and green look amazing together, and this is THE hottest color scheme this Christmas. The richness of the colors really makes a powerful and pleasing visual effect. While purple and green are the hottest color combination for Christmas this year (apart from the traditional red and green), keep it in mind as a really wonderful color scheme for future Christmas’s too. You don’t always have to follow the current trend is something else speaks to your own sense of style more. And this one could be speaking for a while… its so gorgeous.

For this table setting idea, a purple table runner stretches across this round glass dining table. At each place setting, a round white charger plate with silver trim coordinates beautifully with the white leather dining chair with silver studs. On top of the charge plate is a square white dinner plate, followed by a round purple salad plate on top of which is placed a square white soup bowl surrounded by tiny silver bells. Nestled in the soup bowl, a beautiful green Christmas ball with glittering silver detail. A stem of juniper rests on the left side of the charger plate. At the upper left of each place setting, a purple napkin rolled into a silver napkin holder. And for the perfect finishing touch, a lime green satin toss cushion dresses up the chair – so pretty and cozies up the mood at the table. Stunning! I think I might steal this idea detail for detail next year for Christmas.
