A Very Emma Christmas Table

Our favorite vibe for the holidays is a mix between glam and cozy. White with gold and wood accents creates that exact feeling. Here's a walkthrough of everything on our table.

We started with the placements and gathered inspiration from there. We took a classic winter pattern, plaid, and gave it new life with metalic colors. Matching that pattern, we added gold plaid glassware to the table. We wanted to use our two main colors in the plates so we used some go-to white china and gold chargers. White serving dishes atop wood serving boards add a nice contast to this look. We decided to go the extra mile with shiny gold flatware and we are so glad we did. We completed each place setting with a beautiful cloth napkin in the color scheme.

Once each place was set, we created a garland using extra Christmas tree trimming (you can pick it up for free (or for tips) from any Christmas tree lot) and laid it across the table to mimic a table runner. Next, we filled vases with gold bells and beautiful white and green hydrangeas. Together with the wooden, glitter-dipped trees, they make a lovely centerpiece. Lastly, we scattered some white tea lights all around the table for a romantic and cozy touch.
