Setting the Chinoiserie Christmas Table

Caspari

I used to avoid using red at CCC when decorating for the holidays, thinking that it did not work well with my tropical palette of blue, white, green, and pink. Over time, I have decided that red is actually wonderful with these colors, but I don't let it dominate.

Here is wonderful inspiration for setting your holiday table with Chinoiserie Chic style. In the first two, blue and white Chinese porcelain mixes seamlessly with traditional red and green. BTW, places like Home Depot and Lowe's are great to find rosemary and ivy live tabletop topiaries. My Publix all have beautiful little rosemary topiaries. HomeGoods are good sources for faux and preserved versions.

Place card holders and place cards are such a charming touch for setting the holiday table - old school, elegant, and so functional - everyone knows exactly where to sit. I have found some wonderful chinoiserie choices -
