Christmas table setting essentials – featuring Christofle, Bernardaud, and Saint-Louis

Holiday season is just around the corner! And what better timing to celebrate magic moments with your beloved friends and family members, in glorious get-togethers that celebrate luxury and sophistication.

Christhellas proudly presents some luxurious Christmas essentials to paint every single home gathering in hues of absolute elegance and allow you to celebrate the festivities in the very best of spirits.

Here is some holiday inspiration, featuring tableware from the fabled houses of Christofle, Bernardaud, and Saint-Louis.

Set the MOOD with Christofle

Choosing the right centrepiece for the occasion will set the tone for the entire table setting’s theme – and Christofle’s magnum opus, MOOD is a great option to consider. The latter comes with its very own flatware, and it is available in a variety of versions and colours, including silver, pink gold, and black, to perfectly match the chosen colour assortment of your Christmas table setting and elicit a festive ambience.

Or choose a different type of centrepiece

MOOD might be versatile enough to enhance every table setting, but you might want to evoke your guests the spirit of Christmas in a more obvious way. If that is the case, then you should probably opt for an assortment of candlesticks, such as Malmaison from Christofle or candle holders, like Oh from Christofle. Another great idea would be an assortment of Christmas-themed lithophanies from Bernardaud, while decorating crystal vases with mistletoes remains a classic option. A most versatile suggestion would be Cadence, by Saint-Louis.

Pick your favourite Bernardaud dinnerware

Dinnerware is the single most noticeable piece of every elegant table setting. Bernardaud’s exceptional craftsmanship draws inspiration from Art de la Table, curating magnificent dinnerware for every occasion, including Christmas. Holiday season dinnerware crafted by Bernardaud can vary from the neutral tones of Louvre and Naxos to the playful twists of Kintsugi Sarkis, part of Bernardaud’s art-inspired creations, as well as Dune. And let us not forget about Bernardaud’s Noël, a very holiday-infused tableware series.

Match the plates with Christofle flatware

Next to the dinnerware, flatware is equally important and noticeable by every guest. Use your dinnerware as a guide, prior to selecting your Christmas dinner’s flatware. Should the dinnerware be minimal, you can absolutely go for an extravagant option of the likes of Jardin d’Eden by Christofle. Maximal tableware options, however, call for more simplistic flatware, like Origine, also from Christofle. You could also match the dinnerware’s colour with the flatware; hints of gold on the flatware, for instance, will beautifully blend with options such as L’Âme by Christofle, in gold.

Select the right crystal glassware from Saint-Louis

Glassware might be the single greatest option to showcase your ability to mix and match. The festivities will call for a combination of glassware, including glasses for water, wine, and champagne. While the options are, in reality, countless, you should always keep in mind to match the colour of the glassware with the plates’ motif. What we would suggest is to remain minimal when it comes to wine and water glasses, opting for choices such as the transparent Twist 1586 collection by Saint Louis, while completing your glassware assortment with colourful champagne flutes from the Bubbles collection.

Do not forget about the Christmas ornaments

It is not Christmas until the tree is there, marvellously graced with beautiful adornments that revel in the splendour of the festive season. Christofle offers an extensive array of Christmas ornaments that perfectly illustrates the spirit of the holidays, varying from a Christmas tree top to silver-plated designs. You are encouraged to get creative and integrate some Christmas ornaments into your festive table setting, hanging them by the chandelier or assorting them around the table, in a delightful attempt to infuse the holiday spirit into your dining experience.
