How are you decorating your tables this Christmas? Are you going for a whimsical look, traditional look or are you going to place a few Christmas crackers and call it a day? Whatever your style is, we have put together a guide of different styles you can use.

Whimsical

If your customers are mainly family's and the younger generation, then a whimsical style may be for you. The whimsical Christmas style is all about bright colours, candy canes, Christmas characters (The Grinch, The Gingerbread Man, Nutcrackers) and bringing out your inner child. The table can be filled with decorations that can make your customers feel youthful and joyous.

Fun Fact: Candy Canes were invented to help keep the children quiet during church. They were created in 1670 by a German choirmaster. The traditional stripes came later.

One of our recommendations for Whimsical Tableware would be the Churchill Stonecast Range.

Minimalistic

A minimalistic style is not for everyone. However, if you don't want your tables to look too full but still want them to have a touch of Christmas, this style may be for you. A minimalistic style is simple but by adding a few candles, baubles, or a small centrepiece, it can create a sense of calmness and festivity for your customers.

Fun fact: Baubles were first invented in Germany, in Lauscha, notably by Hans Greiner, who first manufactured them in the late 1840s.

We recommend having a look through our Candles and Holders’ selection.

Traditional

The traditional Christmas style is the more popular choice when it comes to decorating. The traditional style is all about the traditional colours like reds and greens and occasionally using textures and patterns like plaid and woodland greenery. Having a traditional style decor on your tables will make your customers feel more at home and comfortable.

Fun fact: The traditional Christmas colours green and red were originally from the colours of Mistletoe.

We recommend looking through some of our Red and Green Tableware and Crockery.

Modern

The Modern style is a new twist of decorating around Christmas time using sleek and elegant colours such as blacks, whites, greys and sometimes greens. A modern style is very similar to the minimalist style, but more decorations are placed like candles, woodland centrepieces and matching tableware and cutlery.

Fun fact: Did you know that the most popular Christmas decorations used are Christmas garlands and candles?

We recommend Amefa's Austin Cutlery Range and the Artisan Andromeda Tableware Range.

We also recommend Dalebrooks Brand New Flex ticket stands for name cards around the table.
