Simple Christmas Table Setting Recipe

 As stated in our last post, our theme for Christmas this year is "simple" (also known as "try - to -make - the - home - look - Christmasy - without - spending - any - money - to - keep - my - husband - happy"). This table setting recipe consists of:

Placemats  +  Napkin rings  +  Candelabra  +  greenery

​It's no secret that I have an Amazon obsession. It's just so logical, guys. Buy everything you can online. Free shipping people! This means you get to stay inside and watch Grey's Anatomy instead of scraping off your car and ruining those suede wedges walking through the parking lot. Keep reading to see some of my favorite Amazon finds to fit into this recipe. 

Here are 3 of my favorite online candelabra finds :

The first is a simple five candle piece, similar to the one pictured on our table (which I found in the clearance section at Homegoods). A simple, inexpensive centerpiece such as this can be dressed up for any occasion...eucalyptus, holly branches, LED stringed lights, etc. 

I've been daydreaming of antlers all December long. I'm not sure how this trend hit so strong, but it did. And I surrender. This antler centerpiece would be pretty with white candle sticks, natural garland, and gold accents. 

This nine candle centerpiece is fabulous for anyone with a large, grand dining table to host many. A formal, eloquent aesthetic could be easily achieved with this beauty. Can you imagine the ambiance?

3 Fabulous Placemats :

I found my placemats at a thrift store for $0.25/pc (yes, eat it). Here are a few of my favorite online alternatives - the neutral, the buffalo plaid, and the classic.

Am I the only one who leaves my Trader Joes eucalyptus branches in my vase for months on end? They die, but I still find them pretty. 

Merry Christmas y'all! We wish you a holiday season filled with family, friends, and pretty table settings.
