Simple Christmas Tablescape on the Porch

We covered our screened porch for the winter and now we are able to use the porch dining table more often. It’s so fun to have guest spill out onto the porch.

Here is a Simple Christmas Tablescape using red and white tableware for a festive holiday feel. I’ve included a step by step video of how to set the table using a DIY Table Runner and fun DIY Cutlery Pocket Napkins.

Although I didn’t use a lot of red and white inside this year, I included those festive colors on the porches.

Simple Christmas Tablescape

Because the table setting is on the screened porch, I wanted to keep it simple and casual.

In order to create a simple tablescape, begin by gathering similar items in a certain color scheme.

The table runner and napkins are red and white, so adding the Toile de Jouy dishes was a perfect choice.

Y’all know I love vintage dishes and have been looking for a Christmas pattern, however the prices have not been favorable. Therefore, these vintage inspired dishes will be perfect for this table setting.

A Simple Christmas Place Setting

In order to keep everything simple, I opted to use a larger white plate as a charger instead of a placemat.

Next, I added the Toile de Jouy dinner plate and salad plate.

These are topped with a cute mini cupcake stand holding a simple frosted pinecone. The pinecone is one that I foraged from our property and I used this flocking technique to give it a little snow.

A Simple Christmas Tablescape Centerpiece

When planning for the centerpiece, I always consider my light fixture first.

The hanging vases were added to the funnel light fixture a few years ago and since then, I like to fill them with seasonal goodies.

Here you can see the sun was shining brightly across the table setting.

This year I added simple twigs and pine cones with the faux snow added. Next, a few faux cranberries were added for a touch of red.

Finally, the actual centerpiece is a mirrored wooden tray I found at Vintage Cottage. It is filled with 3 vintage brass candles sticks, two copper bowls and two greenery spears. All but the greenery was found while Thrifting with the Gals.

Ready for Dinner

The screened porch is a fun spot to entertain friends and family. This space is an extension of our farmhouse and is fun to decorate seasonally.

Although many items on the tablescape are thrifted, the unique martini glasses and gold cutlery are not. The wreath is from Floral Treasure and the mini glass candle is from Antique Candle Co. Just click on the lighted name for sources.

In addition, the metal vintage icebox serves as a storage area for dishes and glassware.

The wooden sign is a hand painted DIY project from a few years ago. You can see prints that I have available here in my store.

I hope you enjoyed todays Simple Christmas Tablescape and I love forward to sharing my next adventures with you.
