Christmas Table Setting | Thrifty Tablescape Ideas

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas table setting that is romantic and rustic. Everything were items that I already owned, which makes this a festive, yet thrifty tablescape idea.

There are many ways to set the Christmas table, but this year I chose a rustic and romantic theme using items that I already owned.

Deer Antlers- I used deer antlers to anchor both sides of the table. Deer make us think of nature and the wild, which is truly rustic.
Pine Cones- I painted the tips on the pine cones to make them feel more wintery and placed them randomly on the table.
Cedar Branches- We have a bush out back that has the most beautiful branches. I snipped a few, let them air out and then placed them on the table to create an earthy foundation to build upon.

Brass Elements- The brass deer and candlesticks create a rich and fancy feel to the table.
Glitter- The center piece tree adds a special touch with the glistening flecks on the tree.
Candles- Candles instantly warm up the table and tell our eyes that this meal is special.
Silver- I borrowed some vintage/antique (I’m not sure which it is. lol) silverware from a friend for this tablescape. There is something so romantic and charming about patinated silverware that you can’t get with stainless silverware. I have been on the hunt for my own for over a year now and I’ve come up short, but I’m hopeful I will find my own soon.

Cedar Branches– here are some faux branches you can use year after year!

I hope you enjoyed this romantic and rustic Christmas table setting idea.
