As we get ready to deck the halls, perhaps you’re looking to take a more casual approach this year. Don’t get us wrong. We love to break out the china and silver for the full Norman Rockwell holiday vibe now and again. But there’s also something to be said about a casual Christmas. No delicate dishware to hand-wash after the kids have gone to bed, no worries if the Christmas ham stains one of the good linens. If you’re looking for a more casual approach to your Christmas tablescape this year, Bering’s has all the items you need to do it tastefully.
If you’re keeping the china stashed away this year, Bering’s has a variety of non-china, casual collections to fit any vibe. The Juliska North Pole Collection is the perfect mix of classic and playful with its vibrant winter scenes. We also love the whimsical shape of its scalloped dessert and salad plates and its charming comfort bowl.
Juliska’s Country Estate Collection offers a gorgeous pop of ruby to your tablescape, with its scalloped edge dinner plate, mug with ice skating elves, and stunning Christmas tree-shaped tray. You can’t go wrong with either of Juliska’s quintessential collections — stay true to one or mix and match for an even more fun aesthetic.
Vietri is another more casual brand that we love at Bering’s, and their Christmas themes always come with a Christmas stocking full of compliments. The Nutcracker Collection couldn’t be more darling, with its cheerful platter and bright salad plates. This Collection will have generations fighting over the pieces to call their own for years to come.
We love a nod to the classic Christmas gingham style and Vietri’s Old St. Nick collection ties in the traditional Christmas green gingham in its matching vibrant dinner plates and salad plates.
Natale by Arte Italica is still a more casual pattern, but offers hints of a more traditional holiday tablescape with its muted colors and styles. The winter season is encapsulated in the brand’s salad and dessert plates, mug, and cereal bowl that’s perfect for serving cozy soups on cold winter nights.
Lastly, melamine is also a great option whether you’re dining outside (hello, Southern temperatures!) or trimming a kids’ table. No broken glass to clean up here!
Juliska offers a charming melamine collection in its Country Estate pattern with both dinner and dessert plates.
Vietri also makes holiday melamine dreams come true with its Lastra Collection that includes everything one’s table could need, from dinner plates and salad plates to serving pieces like this large shallow serving bowl and oval serving platter. And, don’t forget the stacking cereal bowls for chilly mornings that call for hot oatmeal.
Whatever direction you take your holiday tablescape this year, it’s sure to be all things merry and bright.
