Live greenery screams Christmas. Not only will its addition bring good energy to a space, but the smells that accompany it help set the Christmas mood. There are all kinds of ways that you can use greenery on dining tables and spaces during Christmas.
It is not just the table that can be decorated. Get creative and consider adding fresh garland to items like buffets and bars or to the chandelier above the table.

2. Mix in the Old with the New
Another cool suggestion is to mix in old items with new items. Look at local antique stores, vintage shops and resale stores to find Christmas decor that will bring personality to any dining space.
Antique, vintage and rare items can bring up wonderful memories of Christmases past. They can also help foster conversation should people in the party be lacking Christmas cheer!
3. Showcase Family Heirlooms
One idea is to showcase family heirlooms. Brighten up a kitchen dining table with a snowman centerpiece using a snowman your kid made at school. The kids will love it, and it will remind everyone to be lighthearted during the holiday season.
In your formal dining room place a tall clear vase in the middle of the table. Make a centerpiece by filling the vase with family heirloom ornaments, beads and greenery! Your table centerpieces for informal and formal spaces can look amazing when using family heirlooms.
You can make one central centerpiece, or you can put three centerpieces on the tables. Combine three unique items into one centerpiece or space out centerpieces evenly along the table.
4. Showcase Seasonal China, Cutlery and Serving Pieces
There are all kinds of great decor ideas for the table that use seasonal china and cutlery. No matter the budget, you can find Christmas tableware that will set the mood you desire.
If you cannot budget fine china for the season look at resale stores and online outlets to round out your table decoration needs. However, a set of nice Christmas china, cutlery and serving pieces is a wise investment. It is something that your family will come to cherish for years.
5. Add to Existing Decor
Holiday decor and table decoration does not have to be only done with items that are specific to Christmas. Your plates and stemware used year-round can be used during the holidays, too.
Combine festive napkins and ideas mentioned above with existing items. If you already have white plates, just add a breath of Christmas color with appropriate napkins folded on top of them. Don’t worry about buying Christmas specific eating utensils. Find inexpensive silverware rings in Christmas colors!
There is no need to go out and break the bank trying to have the latest or most expensive decoration ideas. Be sure to also work with what you already have.
