Scandinavian Styled Christmas Table

By The Perfect Palette - December 12, 2017 -

Swedish (now Portland-based) stylist and event coordinator, Sara Bergqvist teamed up with Starflower and Gina Neal Photography to create a Scandinavian Holiday table for Advent. And the result? All kinds of pretty!

You see, Advent is the awaiting of Christmas. It is celebrated in Scandinavia four weeks before Christmas. From the designer, "we light 4 Advent candles, eat saffron buns and ginger snaps. We drink mulled wine and decorate our homes with lights and greens."

"Traditionally, we set our tables and decorate our homes in the key colors of warm red, grey, white and green. We gather around a table showcasing abundance!"

"In the styling of our white Advent table, we wanted to interpret and transform the traditional Advent table to capture another kind of Scandinavian aesthetics: clean, contemporary, minimalistic." Scandinavian Styled Christmas Table

"The cool key colors white and greens, together with blonde wood and straight lines, presents a different way of celebrate!" Scandinavian Styled Christmas Table
