Holiday Decorating: The Dining Table

http://www.marthastewart.com

With the holiday's amongst us, decorating the dining table is a necessity. Plastic plates, spoons, and knives, should be hidden away, and only the finest China should be given to your guests. Decorating the dining table for the holiday's is one of my favorite things to do. (ABOVE) This is my favorite holiday dining table. It is incredibly elegant, I love the simple pink and gold color palette. (BELOW 1) I love bringing elements of the outdoors inside when decorating my table as it puts me in a more festive mood. Placing a miniature Christmas Tree on the table adds a brilliant touch of green. I love the natural candles and snow on the table. (BELOW 2) I like how the red bulbs are placed above the table. (BELOW 3) I love that this dining table is not a traditional holiday table, I love the pillows and patterns. This table has a very fresh feel to it. You can add as little or as much to your space as you want. Don't follow rules, just do.
