Have a Festive, Sun-Drenched White Christmas
Do you dream of having a white Christmas but live in a climate that’s too warm for snow? There’s no reason you can’t embrace your own style. The traditional red and green combination can look out of place when it’s hot outside. But by using fresh white pieces, keeping decorations to a minimum and sticking with a limited color palette, you can cool things down for a fresh and chic white Christmas.

A crisp white tablecloth is the perfect base for this Christmas table setting. White napkins, vases, flowers and dishware all work beautifully together here, and the varying textures provide points of difference between the many white pieces.
The rustic burlap table runner adds some softness to the table and just a touch of warmth, saving the scene from feeling sterile.
Restrict Your Color Palette

Focusing on neutral tones doesn’t have to be boring — as long as you include a variety of shapes and textures, the look will always be interesting.
