I've since added a few more things to the garland that around the rest of the ceiling but here is what I started with. Yeah those cards are crooked gotta fix that. LOL

Very pretty. Love the dishes and stemware. I like it with the red. Pretty centerpiece and decorations.

I love all your garland. I like the red better, too. It's just so much more cheerful. Your china is gorgeous.

Simple but splendid Christmas table! I personally really love the red one!
You did a great job!

black-thumb, I really like your Christmas china and matching stems. And your centerpiece is very pretty. Love all of your garland. I think I like the table with the red cloth best also.

I love the gold chargers & the gold goblet vases, they look fabulous with the red, plus with your matching dinnerware & stemware, perfect table!!!

Black thumb,
Your table looks lovely! Love the dishes and the stemware. Very nice and elegant.

Love your Christmas china pattern, very pretty. Those candle holders look so elegant too. You are very energetic to do garland all around the top of your room! Looks very pretty. Love the china with the red, although green or gold would be nice with it too. Just a thought, instead of buying another tablecloth, maybe you could even find a fabric you like and just add a nice wide border of it all around this tablecloth. I'm thinking maybe a pretty plaid or even a shiny gold would really make it look elegant. Can you tell I'm one of those "reuse,redo,recycle" kind of people? ;o)

Thank you everone for your kind reviews! I was looking for a traditional dinnerware set and came across those in a Brylane Home catalog. I purchased them last year but didn't get the matching glasses. I thought they might not look good being hand painted and all. This year I decided I could at least look at them and they are very beautiful in person.

I have been mulling over this tablecloth thing for weeks now. I am happy with the final decision to go with the red. The chairs are going to be gold chivari.

I wanted to add more green but I havne't been able to find it in stores anywhere. Plaids either. Those table cloths aren't actual table cloths. I just went to the material store and got a yard of material I liked to see how it would look. I do intend to go back and purchase more of the red and probably the green as well for the buffet tables. I really did want plaid but I haven't found any plaid ribbon or material this year. I would like to add a green border to the red material. I will have to see how much time I have. I will probably add some tealights around the table though.
