Tropical Christmas Table Settings

Amanda Lindroth

 Although red and green are the most traditional Christmas colors, they do not work in every home, like mine. I much prefer this combination of coral and green. Lots of great ideas to borrow here. Pink bougainvillea is cut from the garden. I have the exact same bougainvillea. Wicker salt and pepper cellars are from her online store, as are the linens and the wicker casserole which she uses here as a centerpiece with lemons and limes. The china is a classic Herend pattern called Fortuna Green.

I purchased her coral woven placemats and I think these would work great with my green chinoiserie wedding china, Wedgwood Chinese Tigers. I chose this china so long ago, and still love it. Do you have a china pattern that you love using for the holidays?

  1. Lowe’s had the most gorgeous pink poinsettias a few weeks ago. Such a nice alternative to red and would look lovely paired with the creamy colored ones.

    1. I know, I saw them and it was too early and now they are all gone.

  5. Fa,la,la,it sounds like a lovely plan. And will go well with your decor. I think Paige Minear does a lovely job with a Palm Beach Christmas theme too,The Pink Clutch. JOY!

  7. OMG, this is so pretty, pretty! I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that the pattern on AL's table is one by Herend, (which happens to be my favorite china maker, BTW). I don't know what you would call it, but I love that particular shade of green in the china too. It's just wonderful combined with the coral linens, the bougainvillea, and the lemons and limes!

    1. Yes, it's Herend Fortuna Green - such a classic, but it looks amazing with a tropical vibe.

  8. I've never been a huge fan of Christmas colors in my home either! One year I did turquoise, red and silver for Christmas. These days I lean toward malachite, fuchsia and gold.

  9. No traditional Christmas colors here either. I too am in Florida. My interior is icy moon drops (soft turquoise) with bright green, navy and pink, with plenty of blue and white. So those are also my Christmas colors 😁
