ven the simplest table setting can feel
festive when you add holiday-specic
touches, like napkin rings in jewel green or
red, a centerpiece lled with evergreen or
holly and twinkling candles.
For a centerpiece that's festive and
practical, consider using your favorite
holiday serving bowl, such as a crystal
bowl, for the foundation. Then add holiday
decor items, like mini Christmas packages,
your favorite Christmas tree decorations or
a pillar candle in a holiday hue like red,
green or snow white. Top with a few sprigs
of evergreen, holly or fresh owers and you
have an easy, elegant DIY centerpiece.
Finally, don't overlook the opportunity to
extend the table's festive atmosphere to the
chairs as well. You can add to their
elegance by adding simple decoration such
as a mini-holiday wreath strung on a piece
of ribbon and looped over the back of the
chair.
"The dinner table is where holiday magic
occurs," Bernardo says. "With a few special
touches, you can set a holiday table that's
perfect for the festive and welcoming spirit
of the season."
