It doesn't matter if you are planning a big reception or confine yourself to a family dinner - an unusual, fabulous setting will make the New Year's Eve even more festive. You can choose a bright folk style or a spectacular glamorous style - it all depends on your preferences and the scenario of the evening.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a general style direction for the future serving. The appearance of the table depends on the general interior of the apartment and the nature of the celebration. A room furnished with expensive classic furniture requires strict luxury in serving, and the high-tech style will allow you to decorate a table in a fancy style. Dishes are prepared accordingly.
Step 2
For glamor, decorate the table with gold. Arm yourself with gold spray cans and treat spruce branches, cones, Christmas tree toys with it. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, the table will be decorated with a wreath of gilded spruce branches and wire-based cones. Place thick white candles in the center of the wreath. Use white porcelain or clear glassware for serving. Roll up white or cream linen napkins and wrap them with gold cord or ribbon. Arrange the gilded cones on the tablecloth in random order.
Step 3
A family celebration can be decorated in red and white colors, traditional for the European Christmas and New Year holidays. Complete the white tablecloth with red napkins, decorate the table with scarlet candles, and arrange small bouquets of fir branches on the plates. Terry hair ties with a suitable ornament can act as napkin rings. Bread, sweets and pies can be served on the “home” table in wicker baskets lined with napkins. Well, cook hot in clay pots - they will perfectly complement the serving.
Step 4
Small, friendly parties can be arranged in a trendy eclectic manner. For serving, combine porcelain and glass - for example, complementing the white plates with multi-colored glass goblets. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, place a clear glass vase in the center of the table filled with Christmas balls and a folded garland with small bulbs. All kinds of canapes and tartlets will look very beautiful on such a table. Color them up and serve in tiered glass vases. Fruit can be served in the same vases. To create a New Year's mood, fruits can be powdered with powdered sugar that imitates snow.
Step 5
If you like New Year's decorated cakes and salads, don't overdo it. It is not necessary to lavishly decorate every dish put on the table. Choose one, branded, and give all the attention to its decor. For example, if the festive menu includes poultry, serve it on a large dish, laying out lingonberries, fried cabbage, apples and oranges cut in the form of lilies as a side dish. Put white paper rosettes on the legs of the chicken or goose. A colored garnish will add even more elegance to the dish. Rice can be dyed with saffron, and mashed potatoes can make beetroot or carrot juice colorful.
Step 6
The sweet table will be decorated with chocolate Christmas trees. Melt black or white chocolate and pour it onto the oiled paper in random blots of different sizes. Let the chocolate freeze, carefully remove the blots with a knife and assemble a herringbone pyramid from them. gluing the layers with melted chocolate. Sprinkle the finished Christmas trees with powdered sugar to simulate snow. Place the figurines on a platter or decorate the cake with them.
Step 7
Have you festively decorated a bottle of champagne by painting it with paints or pasting it using decoupage technique? It's time to put this beauty on the table. The remaining bottles can be quickly and easily decorated with corrugated paper. Cut out a strip of paper and wrap it around the bottle, leaving the neck open. Tie shiny cord or tape around the edge of the paper. This bottle can be opened without damaging the decor. Plus, her paper outfit will keep the tablecloth safe from dripping wine.
Step 8
A very good idea for a festive table is surprise gifts. Roll thick paper into a roll, glue it, turning it into a small tube. Fill it with little surprises like candy, toys, crackers, and other fun stuff. Wrap the gift in caramel-shaped crepe paper. The filling can be changed, depending on who the gift is for. Arrange the surprises on your serving plates with your name cards. Gifts can be unpacked right at the table or taken home - it all depends on the scenario of your holiday.
