Christmas is a time of joy and closeness. Family, friends and colleagues come together at social gatherings and end the year together. This can be noticed in gastronomy in a significant increase in reservation requests for private and company celebrations. It is obvious that the gastronomy should show its best side, especially at this traditional time of the year.
Decorating for Christmas in gastronomy
Whether classic, nature-inspired or modern – with the right table decorations and a matching color concept, you can set festive accents in your restaurant that add to an appealing ambience. It can be even a bit more ostentatious – after all, you want to offer your visitors an experience that will be remembered.
1. Classic festive Christmas decoration ideas
With traditional Christmas decorations in classic shades of red, green and gold, you will create warmth and a festive mood. These festive colors will make your guests reminisce warmly about Christmas parties from childhood. A good choice, if you want to create a cozy and festive Christmas atmosphere in your restaurant, just like at home. A further advantage: You can use and reinterpret these decorations every year over and over again, as these classics are timeless and never go out of style.
Set the Christmas festive table with elegant white, green or red tableware and matching high-quality tablecloths, cloth napkins and tablecloths. Create accents with gold bowls or cutlery. Round off the table decorations with fresh fir branches, Christmas balls, candles and tea lights. In addition, you can set Christmas decorations such as figurines, wreaths, snowflakes, sprigs of holly and glass balls on the window sills or as eye-catchers on the tables. Nevertheless, always make sure that the overall picture is coherent and that the Christmas decorations do not get the upper hand over the culinary experience.
2. Decoration ideas for Christmas in nature tones
According to the motto "back to nature", colors, decorative elements and materials in natural tones are also popular during this season. This decorative trend combines a natural look with sustainability. Especially for venues that want to convey a modern environmental awareness to their guests in addition to healthy and regional food, nature-oriented Christmas decorations in bright colors and soothing green can be the right choice. Classic tableware in subtle cream tones like the collection RAFFINESSE by Bauscher or in beige like NATURE INFUSION by Schönwald can be wonderfully combined with decorative fir branches or table linens with plant motifs.
3. Modern Christmas
Christmas decorations do not always have to be classic – why not dare something new with modern table decorations and exceptional color accents? Fashionable designs paired with festive elements create an individual look. Pale blue or turquoise decorative elements can be used as a special eye-catcher – combined with tables or plates in dark wood tones and atmospheric candles, they not only look classy, but also convey warmth and coziness. Likewise, modern symmetrical patterns are great for making the festive table a real highlight.
Christmas tree as an eyecatcher in restaurant
It is just impossible to imagine Christmas without a richly decorated fir tree. Place it prominently in the entrance or dining area of your restaurant and decorate it to match your ambiance with shiny Christmas balls, fairy lights, tinsel and a tree topper. The tree becomes even more magical with filigree figures and little bells. For those who like it even fancier, instead of a green tree, you can decorate an artificial golden or white Christmas tree.
