A Simply Lovely Tablescape: “Evergreens and Velvet Ribbon”
Let me show you how to style a quick tablescape using beautiful evergreen branches and velvet ribbon.
I have been over the moon for velvet and satin ribbon this season. Visiting the White House I couldn’t help but gleam to see it adorning the trees and wreaths this year. Oh so PRETTY!
Just like my Autumn Fresh Table Runner DIY, tablescape decor doesn’t have to be costly and labor intensive. It can be as easy as a forage walk outside and a roll of pretty ribbon.
Scroll on down and let’s chat about ideas and options for a beautiful evergreen and velvet ribbon tablescape.
How To Style A Holiday Table: Evergreen Branches & Velvet Ribbon
A Few Sparkle Notes Before You start:
- Eucalyptus is considered greenery. It can be found in most grocery stores year round. I pick it up at Trader Joe’s for 3.99 a bunch. I purchased everything fresh in this DIY at Trader Joe’s for less than $15.00. Also note, check the ends of the registers at Trader Joe’s before you pick your flowers. They most everyday have buckets of flowers and greenery that are free. They give one bunch to each guest at checkout.
- Eucalyptus smells wonderful and is perfect for drying and adding to dried arrangements. It also a great addition to wreaths and oh so pretty tucked in a napkin ring for a little something special in a place setting.
- Please read this DIY through to the end before you start.
- There are so many plates to choose from for seasonal table. I am a fan of Home Goods for inexpensive seasonal place setting pieces.
Supplies
- clipped greenery from a forage walk (Take clippers, gloves, and a flower trug (This trug has a drain for rinsing.) or basket and have fun choosing.)
- 1 bunch eucalyptus (optional)
- small jars or vases (I collect mismatched tiny glass vases from thrift shops. Here is pretty vintage set on Amazon. These are nice too.)
- floral scissors
- 2″+ wired velvet ribbon (Or any pretty wired ribbon you love.)
Styling
- Drape, loop, and bend the velvet ribbon down the center of your table. Two or three rows and matching colors would be pretty too.
2. Fill the vases or jars with water and add you evergreens and choses extra greenery.
3. Place the small filled vases and jars along the ribbon.
4. Set your table and perhaps add an ornament or little bundles of greenery here and there for a little extra.
5. Stand back and fluff your masterpiece.
Oh là là you are done!
How easy was that!
