Formal Christmas Dinner Tablescape

 Pat went on another formal Christmas dinner tablescape theme this week - my fault because I wanted to use a napkin ring that we bought last year at Pier 1 and had never even taken the tags off. So she went with it as the inspiration for the table, and I think it turned out pretty good.....

Pat kept the table decorations simple since the place setting was the "focus" piece of the tablescape.

The napkin ring is black and white plaid with greenery

The plaid accent plate is from Pier 1

Pat found these lovely white and gold rimmed porcelain plates at a second-hand store years ago

The black charger is one of our favorites - "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa

Flatware is "Byzantine" by Yamazaki

We got the gold trimmed glassware at Pier 1 three years ago

Lenox Mansfield Christmas Table

 Taking another Santa from our collection as the inspiration to this week's table, Pat used Lenox "Mansfield" dinnerware with black accents to make an elegant and somewhat formal Christmas table.

The color theme is black, brown, gold and ivory

Pat used black tulle under the centerpiece to give it more definition 

Instead of a traditional napkin ring, Pat used gold ties to match Santa's cord around his gift sack

Once again, Pat used two chargers - this one is a "Black" Fiesta(ware) Chop plate

Always a favorite, the antique gold charger is from Tuesday Morning

Black goblets are "Midnight Black" by Artland Glass

Satin finish flatware is "Meridian" by Cambridge from Bed, Bath, and Beyond
