Christmas is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited. I couldn’t wait to start decorating but this year I wanted to do something a bit different. I wanted to create a “Vintage Christmas.” We were having guests over for an evening and wanted the table to look beautiful, but have a vintage feel.
I started with a color scheme of black, silver, white, cream with green accents. I decided to use real greenery for my greens to bring the outdoor in.
Anything that I could find in whites or silver I purchased. I found those adorable silver and white doves that I instantly fell in love with. You can never go wrong with candles and used a neutral table runner to allow the centerpieces to shine over the black table.
On the buffet table we had some appetizers before dinner of a variety of cheeses and baguettes. We also enticed everyone with what would be for dessert. A Caramel Apple Tart and French Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Frost Bitten Cranberries.
Of course, we didn’t forget the wine. We gave our guests both red and white to choose from, but these wines are so good, they didn’t last long. We served 2012 Cambria Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir and 2012 Cambria Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay.
Here are my photos of the set up. I would love to hear how your decorating this holiday season.

Wow! That’s an impressive table layout. Our table still has the veggie box in the middle of it! This weekend’s big task is to tidy the house ready for Christmas to arrive here. It can’t come yet!!
I love the way you pulled this all together! I had no idea how to go about making it look all pretty without looking too busy. You did an awesome job. Totally fit for a magazine. And, wow – that cake!

That is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors on that tablescape.
I do not host gatherings, ever, wish I did but my family in the extended sense is “busy all the time” …. sigh. I love your setup, it is really gorgeous and reminds me of something I would see in a magazine!
That table setting is simply amazing. I really love it. I need something like this at my house.

That vintage look here is just gorgeous. Nice work, that’s a very welcoming tablescape.
This is a gorgeous table. I love decorating my table for different Holidays.
The whole vintage look is gorgeous. You nailed it. Love all the details.
What a fun table! I think the doves are beautiful and I really like the reindeer as well. It’s so fun to decorate for the holidays, but I really have no one over so I have no one to do it for.
This is SO amazing! I love the white and silver combination. This is definitely my style!
That is beautiful and elegant. I would love to have something like this for my place. I will have to look into it and maybe surprise my husbands mom :)
Wow. That’s a beautiful setting. We never have anything that fancy, but hopefully one day we will.
Very lovely and so elegant. I love the greens and the birds. Never would have thought to add those in decorating a table.
Gorgeous setting and decor indeed. I would love to have a dinner party with these setting. I love the wine glasses and the plates are just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Great job indeed.
I absolutely love that tables cape! Also, that wine and cheese bar is simply stunning- I love the entire presentation and selection that you have available. Wow!
I love the simple color scheme of this tablescape. Very classy! What really gets my heart thumping is the buffet, though. Love it!
Wow!!! This entire setup is beyond beautiful!!! Totally my style!!! Loving the candles!!!
Such a beautiful table display, really luxurious looking. We always have a gold and white table set up with hints of red, so festive :)
I love a beautiful tablescape. Our dining room is under renovation so we didn’t have it all set up for the holidays. Can’t wait for next year.
Oh wow! The silver and wintergreens are so beautiful together. What a stunning table!
I love those candlesticks. I should get some
What a gorgeous Christmas tablescape! You did an awesome job decorating, it looks so elegant and classy!
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! Breathtaking! Seriously I am going to pin this!!!
The decoration here looks absolutely gorgeous! Style is wonderful and it looks like it just fell out of some winter fairy tale!
I love the look of vintage! it’s just the classic look that doesn’t age. You did a great job!
What a beautiful display! I love formal decor like that. It just makes things so elegant. Our Christmas decor was very simple. I have several German Christmas candle spinners, so we lined those down the table with a few silver accent pieces. It was fun watching our friends play with the spinner and the music they made added to the ambiance.
There is so much wonderful style going on here. What great taste you have! Absolutely love your photos. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas x
