The napkin decor is my favorite thing about this tablescape.

I used my linen cloth napkins.

I wrapped some twine around the napkin three times, then I tied a bow.

The holidays are a time of joy and celebration, but they can also be a lot of work.

If you’re like me, you might be looking for ways to add some holiday charm to your home without spending too much time or money.

One easy way to do that is by using what you have, whether it is inside your house or outside.

I grabbed my vintage basket and some garden nippers and headed out to the woods behind our house.

I found so many wonderful things that were perfect for this simple, yet elegant Cottage Style Tablescape.

I love any excuse to get outside and enjoy nature.

When clipping greenery for your holiday decorating, look for several different types.

The more the merrier.

It will add so much more interest and character.

I used my burlap table runner as the base.

Then I used a large white platter to put the candles and greenery on.

I used a set of flameless candles for the focal point.

These candles are so beautiful, they look real, but without the flame.

These flameless taper candles are my new favorites.

You will love them, too.

We hope you are enjoying this blog post and find it helpful in getting started with your own cottage style Christmas tablescape.

Remember, the key to creating a beautiful and inviting space is simplicity.

A few well-chosen pieces can go a long way! I

I used my favorite vintage green glass candlesticks on either side of the centerpeice.

Aren’t they so pretty?

I love them.

They add so much vintage flair to the tablescape.

If you don’t have access to fresh greenery, use faux greenery.

You can use it again and again.

Faux pine greenery, magnolia leaves, and holly leaves and berries.

Just cut off the individual branches with wire nippers.

I used my woven sea grass placemats with my white dinner and salad plates.

I used my everyday silverware, wine goblets and water glasses.

I topped the salad plate with the twine wrapped napkin with the greenery.

I love the simple elegance of this setting.
