The buffet, side tables and coffee table will benefit from a few fall touches as well. Bring in large branches of fall foliage and place in a tall vase for a seasonal decoration that is chic and free the best of both worlds. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div>

The buffet, side tables and coffee table will benefit from a few fall touches as well. Bring in large branches of fall foliage and place in a tall vase for a seasonal decoration that is chic and free the best of both worlds. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

It sets the color scheme and softens the warm wood of the table.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMF-7YQymcnflc530jPCp_OFXrWNi21nW4lMmCO6yG8gnAkmraX09Yh5dRLJYGQ9pgcSNyK9KnBQ9UO9ksdlwOH3kPJhxeKaYW-9Pq9nA9HDyBGDCf8E1e_KgvblB3Q1wr9Vs2o5KT6Phs/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Bring Texture to the Table</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">A woven placemat adds rich color and texture to each setting. Remember to have an open mind when shopping: These mats were meant to be used on an Asian-style table, but they are right at home in a rustic theme. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWepoY0IjiYb6gExGpwNZtFtN3Y3ZewQWL8n9YK-gGP8GhUfDLjh7Ysv3BPknFM1FhAT4QhlA8C1qmtC27NJCT9KAtnkxjgg3OQP9uKbHeUWJZacE9LldjzLCjJafkSnFgGuAWdVBNT5k/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Mix and Match</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Vintage Bakelite flatware from slightly mismatched sets looks perfect side by side. Don’t be afraid to mix and match silverware, plates and glasses. It often looks more interesting than using pieces that are made to be a set. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8-IavEobWC5CWiUtbISfHzLkMb7S8Y1pL03Q07tn88g1nkrEMF4jopmejLKEchdnNhmYuB-2edTuO9CmNBYndsQoQX_0INJ468_PwDtYqDaoRHY8Pys0dlbTZwCNju_4IgbvaGtlMTdt/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Ditch the Paper Plates</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Treat your guests to the luxury of using different plates and bowls for each course. Serve soup in simple wooden bowls, follow with a salad on a delicate ironstone plate and finish with dinner on a square wooden plate. A crystal goblet adds a touch of elegance, but the wheat pattern ties in to the natural theme.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifD4Q1_a_qPxEbKmjooSQ_9eFkoIpMD4ePH75ae9q2YS_r96XICgjjzi7VM28_NrLFZt1Aql3e00XQnlZyl60xYlbxjx2W46eFm782sexTSfSexnrlZ2TtY_keDlxfY8KWBOwrN46vXgvN/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">The Season of Giving</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">A soup bowl doubles as a place card holder and carries an ornament for each guest to take home as a gift.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KqOIEAOXZTmew2W09kh74g1S8WFGkNNthGWdDLqf_Xo9z_aOIACL2bEZ_ipcdw4PBNFb_7y4_0UiFzwCC0yB0yflFU4-8TQytlk8mNuXP5yRP_Tq4giaMEbGtoD0Favm_euoGa4_KNOL/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Tag It</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">A bundle of fresh cinnamon sticks is wrapped and tied in hemp twine. Write guests' names with permanent marker on a shipping tag and tie to a cinnamon bundle to assign seats. Arrange guests in a way that will encourage conversation and new friendships</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQ3RxCfjKG-TpkPLxsnTdDS000cJHimL7Q7lrqKT8j4hZ6C81LZl5PHbJ5kRxzJJ2c4GNb-z_3pANp_DV0lihkCcJE3ueG7zRwY79gzHQC4ZmA_T5nmtXDPZdXlyIXu8LGxg_WoW1T8aI/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Forget the Florist</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Trim evergreen branches from your yard or an obliging neighbor's tree to serve as a centerpiece. Place fresh boughs in a galvanized bucket and swag a wooden bead garland around the greens. Use leftover Christmas tree clippings to fill in the base of the tablescape. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJCePc3k3okT2pfEBQsWgdwzhdmurHaXcLIfLHXqV6_EPqGLKeIyYgRkz_IApkoPMO6HmWspiwVVVl7dr8Za6nktXCmqydgp6GmMlioHS8xcrDY2u96zwDjqcQfyChoLSbMcGiGOEiQbVX/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">It’s All in the Details</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Embellish a simple galvanized sap bucket with humble hemp twine and an inexpensive snowflake ornament. Wrap twine several times around the top of bucket, then tie together and create a loop to thread snowflake on. Tie one more knot to secure the snowflake. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPAVCWBhrdrSgDSoW1oZg_MinyKYumWMEWkjRWu9jYr_oubxd53GgIIO6LH5XP4aJdkxVvD3k4r1Gnaf5jMv4CUg8PJipe4LMQ_dNWyB1ZktknWvuntytnQb_impSl0mjVMAw7NRth2T2C/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Layer Upon Layer</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Fluffy white snowflakes, knit "sweater" ornaments, twine-wrapped candles, fresh greens, pinecones and a stack of old books bring visual and textural interest to this centerpiece. Be careful where candles are positioned in relation to fresh greenery, and never leave candles unattended.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zAX_00i8NlkAT1IdjhWQFRt9YMePWaqqv_S43EbfHwmUu6EnO3478UZQqq_frvzfaM0h1sKKWPut7oTBWCp6O1t8B9Lh6LuCVYy76lYbL_wIFhz6eQf4VNEMo0d-Yez9A1_z3qXV6aU7/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Keep it Natural</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Egg-shaped fresh cranberries provide an unexpected pop of color against a craft store bird’s nest. Shop the farmers' market, garden center and the great outdoors to find accessories for this rustic table setting. </div></div>
