The following simple and stylish Christmas in July table setting ideas are the perfect accompaniments for rejoicing in all that comes with a winter wonderland.
#1 Silver and Sage Christmas in July Table Settings
Our Silver and Sage decorating theme coincides brilliantly with a winter Christmas, featuring magical colours and the sparkle of frost glistening on fir trees as the sun hits their branches. The subtle combination of silver and white is complimented with a hint of soft grey and sage green.
Start your silver and sage Christmas in July table settings with a fabric linen and silver table runner. Then run a simple pinecone garland, and add a few extra pinecone or floral sprays into the mix. Finish your place settings with a feather butterfly decoration, or a personalised glitter star or snowflake, to mark each guests’ place at the table. String together the glitter decoration and personalised name tag for a decoration your special guest can place on their own Christmas tree.

#3 Farm Fresh Christmas in July Table Settings
For warming and welcoming Christmas in July table settings with a real homely vibe, just choose some gorgeous rustic accents with traditional Christmas décor. Rustic table settings are full of versatile natural pieces that offer plenty of character and real wintery charm (which you may already have at home). Rustic Christmas in July table settings allow you to keep it simple while providing maximum festive impact.
Our Farm Fresh decorating style is a gorgeous arrangement for a rustic Christmas. Farm Fresh Christmas features warming hues of deep red, black and gold in charismatic gingham patterning – looking just the part for a winter feast. And you can decorate your table with fun and furry ornaments; see our wood reindeer with fur ornaments, or cute polar bear family with on-trend scarves.
To set up our Farm Fresh Christmas in July table setting, start with a burlap placement (or a natural jute hessian sheet) under a wooden base plate, such as a cheese board or one of our wooden timber slices. Then fold a linen napkin neatly on top of the board and garnish it with a simple spray of artificial berries tied with black or red ribbon.
You can compliment your table setting with our light up ornaments or some Christmas wine glasses, to finish it off perfectly.
