Celebrate Christmas Day with a Stunning Table Setting with Holly & Ivy

Christmas is more than a holiday; it’s a time to gather with loved ones and create cherished memories. A beautifully decorated table sets the tone for your festive feast and transforms your home into a haven of holiday spirit. 

With Holly & Ivy’s exquisite range of Christmas tableware and decorations, you can craft a Christmas lunch table setting that’s as magical as the season itself.

We have put together some tips to make the perfect table setting much easier - you have much more to worry about if you’re hosting the family Christmas this year!

1. Start with a Stunning Foundation

Every memorable table setting begins with the perfect base, and Holly & Ivy’s Festive Flora Cotton Table Cloth is the ideal choice. Featuring a lush design of holly leaves and berries, it instantly sets a festive tone while protecting your table. A high-quality Christmas tablecloth like this one not only adds elegance but also provides a canvas to build your table setting and decorations.


2. Layer with Elegant Christmas Tableware

Create visual interest by layering your tableware. Start with Holly & Ivy’s Merry Plates, which feature a cheerful design that is perfect for the occasion. Pair them with the matching Merry Platter and Merry Serving Tray to complete the look. Mixing textures and patterns can add dimension to your Christmas table-setting ideas, so don’t be afraid to get creative.


3. Add Show-Stopping Christmas Centerpieces

The centrepiece is the heart of your table, and Holly & Ivy offers two luxurious options to suit your style. Choose the Luxe 3-Pillar Apples Centrepiece for a modern touch or the Luxe 3-Pillar Traditional Centrepiece for a timeless, classic vibe. Enhance these centrepieces with the Luxe Juniper and Berry Garland, weaving it along the table for a cohesive, natural look.

4. Set the Mood with Candlelight

Nothing captures the magic of Christmas like the warm glow of candlelight. Scatter Holly & Ivy’s Single Flame LED Glass Candles and Natural LED Taper Candles across your table to create a cozy and inviting ambience. The flameless design ensures safety while still delivering all the charm of traditional candles.

5. Incorporate Festive Christmas Bonbons

No Christmas table is complete without bonbons! Holly & Ivy’s Festive Flora Bonbons not only add a playful touch but also serve as delightful surprises for your guests. Place one at each setting for an extra dash of holiday cheer.

6. Finish with Thoughtful Details

Small details make a big difference when decorating your table for Christmas. Tie napkins with festive ribbons, sprinkle faux snow for a whimsical touch, or use small letter ornaments as name cards.

These thoughtful additions enhance the overall aesthetic and make your guests feel special.

7. Keep It Practical Yet Beautiful

While aesthetics are important, don’t forget about functionality. Ensure there’s enough space for dishes and drinks, and consider your guests’ comfort. As Australians, we know to prepare early - remember to purchase your holiday beverages early before closure on Christmas Day! 

Holly & Ivy’s well-designed holiday table decorations for Christmas strike the perfect balance between beauty and practicality, so you can focus on what matters most — enjoying the day and trying not to go mad during the chaos! Revel in it and create memories.

So this Christmas, let your table reflect the joy, love, and warmth of the season. Explore Holly & Ivy’s full range of Christmas table-setting ideas and make this year’s celebration truly unforgettable.
