We’re almost there, Christmas 2019 is coming and we want everything to be perfect, starting with our beautiful table. And this year Giorgia Fantin Borghi help us.
An expert in wedding etiquette and table history, Giorgia Fantin Borghi is one of the most successful professionals in the wedding and in the organization of special events related to the art of the table and to receiving. We asked her for some suggestions to make our convivial moments during the Holidays unforgettable.
Allegorical symbols
All that is symbolic and well-wishing returns to the trend. Therefore, go ahead to everything that has a protective and exorcising value with an idea of rebirth and renewal. Whether they are animal figures as a metaphor for change or small objects with a talisman function, the symbol distinguishes a table that combines design with tradition, which also mixes the most classic colors with images halfway between the mythological and the magical.
Gold and metals
Still on the podium of the colors for the table decor of Christmas 2019 we find all the variations of gold and metals in general. Evocative and bright effects, not shameless, but highly decorative: gold, silver, brass and copper characterize the festive period and are still very trendy. Finishes, details and small objects, in leaf or foil, recall the preciousness of metals and design sophisticated but not ostentatious scenarios, luxurious and relaxed at the same time and with great suggestive power.
Graphic signs and unconventional combinations
Plates and underplates with a traditional pictorial style, made of classic designs and ornamental motifs with a more formal flavor, are combined with a more contemporary cutlery or accessories with ultra-modern knowledge. Certainly a bold approach, the so-called mix & match, a mixture of styles, colors and materials within the same context to create, even at the table, a convivial space that resembles us and that speaks the language of our personality. A care: Mix & Match does not mean “at random”, the combination of the various elements requires a minimum of attention.
Colors and materials
No compromise for this Christmas 2019. There are two choices: on the one hand the dark and smoky colors like the intense greens and the very deep reds, on the other the absolute clear with small sparkling affectations. Whatever the choice, the direction goes in the sign of contrast with the background, whether it is a tablecloth or a material surface such as wood or marble.
Sophisticated details
The world of table styling is often characterized by refined details and craft techniques such as weaving and embroidery. It seems small but the use of cloth napkins with embroidery, even very simple, gives the situation a special charm, a feeling of particular attention to detail. A superchic trick? Change the napkin before serving the dessert with a little smaller or simply a different color. Small attention, great figure!
Personal essential
Our table, precisely because it is ours, must be unique. There is therefore a very precious rule: to surround oneself with a few objects but very significant for us and to be inspired only by the trends that really belong to us, without choosing what others would choose only because they are fashionable. Focus on the essential, making it completely personal.
