Preparing my Christmas table

my Scandinavian Christmas table ; Hannah in the house

Well I wasn’t expecting it to be this year but the time has come. This year I will be spending Christmas at my new home in Copenhagen with Stephen and Hansel and not with my family in the UK (eek, feeling slightly guilty). At the age of 34, I will be cooking Christmas dinner for the first time! Hence prepping for my Christmas table. Usually I’m the helper but now I’m the hostess! (eek again).

I’m not the best chef but I’ll give a good try. The fun part for me is planning my decor and the dining table. And not one for Christmas cliches. I like to keep my decor understated, humble with hints of nature, raw materials and simplicity. This may not feel too Christmassy but it is a start. I’ll be looking to add a few more pieces (maybe a wreath), candles and a good bottle of red wine. Then I’ll attempt the food……

    It looks so calm and beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful first Christmas in Copenhagen! x

    Super good luck for hosting your first Christmas. I have also never had to host Christmas so I would be equally apprehensive although my husband would do all the cooking anyway and he loves to cook. Your table looks so calm and serene so hopefully these vibes will rub off on Christmas day and help you relax into the hostess role!

    Lovely styling, I’m sure you’ll have a great Christmas in your new home. I’m sharing it with my parents this year so lots of us around the table. I’m sure it will be busy.

    Hannah I am in love of your blog! May I ask what camera you use for your photos? You’re a great photographer as well as an interior designer.

      Hi! Thanks so much. I don’t use any fancy cameras just an Olympus Pen epl7 and sometimes my very old Nikon 3200. I hope that helps xx
