As mentioned in my previous post, I was sick during the holidays and wasn't able to get this tablescape posted till now. Hope you enjoy seeing it a bit late...
My inspiration for this Christmas Glam Meets Rustic Woodland tablescape came from this beautiful glass cloche a co-worker gave me which I filled with an assortment of silver ornaments.
For a more natural rustic look, I paired the glammed-up cloche with this real/faux "runner" of greenery I created using steps outlined below.
Take an old piece of faux greenery
(Yvonne at Stone Gable gives a great tutorial HERE on making a wreath using this method)
Okay, now on to the rest of the tablescape....
The place settings were kept very minimal with no placemats (did you notice, NO tablecloth either - a big change for me with our new dining set!) and plain white dishes on silver chargers.
My acrylic snowflake napkin rings on rolled white napkins added to the simplicity of the design.
A silver bird speaks to the shiny glam of the table...
...while my brown metal pine cones add a rustic element
This view into our dining room gives more of a wintry woodland feel ...
...whereas, the view looking from the dining room towards our tree makes the tablescape take on more of a Christmas look.
Candlelight for the table consists of a simple white taper set in a shiny silver holder on each side of the cloche centerpiece.
I kept the centerpiece and runner on table for a few weeks until the real greenery branches began to lose their needles. (Below, you can also see I've hung snowflakes from our new chandelier)
Here's a closer view of how I've decked out the sideboard for the season.

Some acrylic, glass and crystal pieces add some sparkle to welcome the New Year.
Hope your New Year is off to a great start!

I'm right there next to you at A Stroll Through Life, so I'm visiting and thoroughly enjoyed your post. Your table is lovely. I like the mix of shiny and rustic, and the simple(er) place settings. Very, very pretty table! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteLove it, simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to enjoy gorgeous wintery Christmas settings. I could look at these any day of the year!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am visiting from Savvy Southern Style. I am sorry to hear you were sick over Christmas, what a bummer! But I have to tell you, your dining room decor and table setting/tablescape just took my breath away. It is so beautiful, I could not imagine being a guest at that table and wanting to leave the room, LOL! It is so warm, and lovely, and inviting. And very brave of you to go without placemats on a NEW table, eek! I am totally envious of those "crystal" Christmas trees on your buffet and the crystal-draped candle holders. Just lovely. Ohhhh, ahhhh, what a fantastic job. And I hope you do NOT feel like you have to strip it all away now, since the Feast of Three Kings has passed. I'm having guests over on Jan. 19th and I'm keeping all of my Christmas decor up at least until then, and possibly longer. I find it cheers me up during these long dark cold days, even as I see us slowly start our long creep back toward the Spring Equinox. Time enough, I figure, to take down the artificial tree (no worry about needle drop) and Christmas decorations on Super Bowl Sunday :)
