I love styling my table for every holiday, but that doesn't mean I have the time or budget to put everything I have into every tablescape and centerpiece. I wanted to share a few easy, affordable hacks I've learned that allow me to save time and money but still have a jaw dropping festive table for Christmas!

You read that right! I love the embroidery detail on my family room curtains, and I'm not using them right now because I hung thick velvet curtains for the winter months! I laid the curtain out on my table and gather it in the middle to make it narrower. I folded it a few times until it was a wider version of a table runner and I didn't have to spend a dime on new table linens!
I LOVE centerpieces, but laying a nice full garland down the center of my table can be just as beautiful as taking the time to arrange flowers or candles! After I laid down my garland, I just nestled some ornaments into the greenery for a little sparkle. Here's another type of garland that would look gorgeous!
I saw a tutorial for these last year, but I just made them for the first time! They are absolutely adorable and the red plaid just pops on my fairly neutral Christmas table. Find the simple tutorial here!
I made this centerpiece last year with greenery I cut from my neighbor's yard (with permission) I love that it is low profile so you can easily see others at the table! Don't miss this video to see how I made it! Feel free to add in some flowers for color, but it looks stunning on its own! Or add a few ornaments to the top for a little sparkle!

Don't miss my holiday brunch table setting from last year with these sweet marshmallow snowflakes! I hope you find some inspiration here for a table scape that is both simple and stunning! Merry Christmas!
