<div class='uawarticle'>Christmas dinner is all about tradition, togetherness and celebration, so this festive season you'll need a dining table with all the trimmings! Never has one meal been more deserving of ceremony than Christmas dinner, so why not push the boat out? After all, Christmas comes but once a year and it would be such a shame to serve yours on a blank canvas. For a truly merry Christmas, set the festive scene with a dinner table beautifully decorated with handcrafted tableware to bring a touch of elegance to the big day!<br />
<br />
Why not keep things simple with a splash of gold or silver- use dining plates and champagne flutes decorated with a band of gold or silver will ensure a sparkling Christmas day! Don't forget to accessorize either; handmade napkin rings will give your Christmas table a sense of occasion and the stylish finishing touches won't go unnoticed! You can't go wrong with a snowy white table cloth; but choose a runner in a rich red or wine hue for a simple yet effective way to give your Christmas table a pop of colour without looking overly fussy.<br />
<br />
If you're aiming for a classic Christmas look, try using a wreath for an eye-catching centrepiece; including elements of the outdoors like real pinecones or holly leaves can look beautiful (and smell lovely!). Integrate lighting into your table settings, accessorize with striking candlesticks which not only look magnificent but also make quite the statement! Using candles on your table can really shine a light on your culinary prowess. And don't forget to place your Christmas pudding upon a raised platter or pedestal so it really stands out!<br />
<br />
For a more contemporary dining table, colourful baubles arranged inside vessels like bowls, glass jars or jugs look effortlessly chic. Pewter coasters or place settings can look opulent, so pair these with little touches like fun crackers or napkins tied with bows and ribbons to give your table the 'wow' factor. Use your cutlery to really make a statement; items like sterling silver cheese knives are not only practical but can also make great handmade gift ideas!<br />
<br />
Beautiful serving dishes are a must when your guests have gathered, so take care with the presentation of your food. Dusting your plates with a sprinkle of icing sugar before serving is a top tip to elevate any pudding from simple sweet treat to stylish festive dessert. Chic touches such as personalised place settings and favours will immediately make your guests feel special. If tired cracker jokes and paper hats leave you cold, you might try making your own crackers this year (they also make brilliant Christmas gift ideas!) So all you need for a truly memorable Christmas dinner is a bit of time, an eye for creativity and some truly exquisite tableware.<br />
