Preparations

Each year, I want a nice but new color theme for my Christmas table. Copper is the 'hot' color now, so it was very easy for me to slowly search and purchase lovely items to decorate my table pretty soon.
Just decided to add some charcoal and mix it with the warmth of the copper tone ; I headed for Dille & Kamille today and was very happy to discover they have a wide range of table linnen in long sizes too. Fortunately they had 2 hues of charcoal ; I opted for the darkest and longest one in their range.
300 x 150 cm is just perfect for a long and wide table like ours.

All things copper were found at Sissy Boy, my local supermarket and De tafel van Amandine ; as you can see in the picture, these colors mix very well. I really like this feel and my biggest inspiration was  the Local Milk blog .
I'm totally obsessed by Beth and her style and hopefully, I get the approach right, so I can enjoy my Christmas dinner like a boss !

I'll promise, just like last year, I'll update you guys as soon as all pictures are taken, developed and stashed in my Lightroom folder.

Merry X-mas ! 

It's that time of year again ; presenting you all my Christmas table decorations anno 2014 !

I've tried to tone it down a bit ; no OTT deco and bling this time. Just a simple weatherbeaten centerpiece with some starry (eco friendly) LED lights. I always imagined LED were cold and totally not suitable for a warm light effect, but these days - as you can see - the color temperature of LED lights has completely warmed up to something nice to enjoy !

As we always have a traditional Christmas (daytime) brunch, Mr C and I searched for some XL shiny white china, a touch of gold seen in the candleholders and some statement napkins too. 

Those big plates are perfect for a selection of fine cheeses and breads, consumed with some nice white and red wines. 

The smokers are not forgotten either, as we lit our fire basket outside, to warm up hands whilst smirting with a handsome smoker in our garden.

Hope to see you soon next week, at some festive New Year's party !
