Christmas in July
A red Christmas is classic and a look that is never going out of style. Even though it is pretty early to be talking sbout Christmas during the summer I feel that every year Christmas just comes around so suddenly and I am not prepared for everything that comes with it. For many people it is the one time of the year in which they will spend the most money and will go out of their way to make this time of year extra special for their loved ones if possible.
Many people travel, host gatherings, buy and wrap presents, go to church, bake, decorate their house, and go in search of that perfect Christmas tree that will complete that special look they had in mind.
Despite the fact that there are so many ways to wrap end embellish your Christmas presents I feel that you can never go wrong with brown wrapping paper, a nice thick ribbon, and fresh greenery.
Talking about setting beautiful Christmas tables, this red and gold table with long white candles is just so luxurious looking and I am sure anyone invited to this dinner will be amazed.
For a more simple table setting but also fancy and inviting crate and barrel used fresh fruit as the main focus in particular red pomegranates. Loved how they used red as much as they could without being too overwhelming. They included red berries, red glasses and beautiful red plates as well as fresh greenery and Christmas tree candles.
Loved how they included pomegranates once more in this set up as well as chestnuts, walnuts, pinecones, beautiful red flowers, fresh greenery, a pampas grass and a pop of purple all on top of a velvety tablecloth. I feel that Christmas is one of those few occassions you can go over the top and it is ok and encouraged.
A great example of luxury and over the top setting that includes black, gold and red. And is perfectly set infront of the coziest place you want for Chistmas the fireplace.
If the other table settings included too much red this is the perfect example that you do not have to overwhelm the table to include a pop of red but can still include it in the simplest way. red was intoduced through the linen napkins and ribbon on the Merry and bright tag and jingle bell.
Beatiful fresh greenery will always look great in my opinion. This might be the most inviting and coziest setting yet. An abundance of fresh greenery paired with berries, golden ornaments, candles, chestnuts and most importantly the most delicious looking hot chocolates screaming to be enjoyed.
To be honest I never envisioned red roses to be very Christmassy but man has this Christmas wreath proved me wrong. It is gorgeous, full of life, huge and very festive.
Christmas is a holiday where it is ok to indulge and this cookie, peppermint bark and meringue box is to die for. Would love to pamper my family with this box during the holiday season.
Red and gold once again because it is so classic and timeless. Really love this tree, its ornaments and garlands.
Can not get enough of this red and white tree. It is perfection without even knowing it.
I am obsessed with this advent calendar and the many different ways you could use it. For tea lovers you can make it into a tea advent calendar. As always you can include a small favor or candy inside. You can include an activity for everyday and the more fun the activity the more you and your loved ones will be looking forward for the next day. Money and gift cards could also be included.
Yet another beautiful table setting, this time with a striped table runner.
Even though this does not scream red I thought it was a perfect table with red berries throughout the center.
Last but definately worth it is this pink cozy number.
