Colonial Christmas Tablescape



I thought I would share pictures of my colonial tablescape that I created on Christmas Eve. I have step by step pictures of how it was slowly "built". It was so much fun to make and it turned out absolutely beautiful!


I started out by making my own glitter candles......

*a little messy at first, but quite a stunning showpiece when they were all finished!

*Put the candles in their place....

*added lots of these....

*to our NEW colonial candle cups....




*Now, bring in the fresh greens....all sorts!


*Start to add some beautiful, slightly sparkled bronze ribbon!


*Adding some fresh fruit, and more of my glittered candles...



*Apples, Pears, Fresh clove studded oranges, and Pineapples....




*All different views of the table.....

















Can't wait to do this again next year! It gave such a homey, colonial feel to Christmas.
