A Lowcountry Christmas Tablescape is all about the charm and warmth of the Southern hospitality, and creating a beautiful and inviting environment for your family and guests. Here are some tips to help you create a festive and elegant table:
How to Set a Lowcountry Christmas Tablescape
Decor: Add some natural elements to your table decor, such as pinecones, greenery, and berries, to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. You can also incorporate some Lowcountry-themed decor, such as oyster shells and cotton branches. Use a mix of textures, such as burlap and lace, to add depth and interest to your table.
Food: Serve classic Southern dishes, such as roasted turkey, ham, collard greens, and sweet potato casserole, to give your guests a taste of the Lowcountry. You can also include some seafood dishes, such as shrimp and grits or crab cakes, to showcase the local cuisine. For dessert, serve pecan pie or peach cobbler.
Drinks: Offer your guests some classic Southern drinks, such as sweet tea, mint juleps, or spiked eggnog. You can also create a signature cocktail using local ingredients, such as bourbon and peaches.
Colors: Stick to a traditional Christmas color palette, such as red, green, and gold, but with a Southern twist. Use shades of moss green, deep red, and bronze to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
Lighting: Use warm and soft lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. Candles, string lights, and lanterns are perfect for a Lowcountry Christmas Tablescape. You can also incorporate some natural light by placing your table near a window.
With these tips, you can create a beautiful and welcoming Lowcountry Christmas Tablescape that your guests will remember for years to come.

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
