VIDEO - How to decorate a buffet table for a Christmas party


It's always best to use levels when you are setting up a buffet table. It creates more visual interest and it allows you to put more bowls and platters in a smaller space.

In the article and video you'll find here, you'll see the basic principle for creating levels for your buffet using sturdy items and an extra cloth. In the article and how-to video you'll find here, you'll see how the table was decorated. While that video was geared toward creating a wedding-related buffet, the principles still apply. Just simply swap out the wedding decor for Christmas decor and instead of fresh vines, use seasonal garland.

In the video you'll see at the end of the article, you'll learn another way to create the same visual interest using decorated Christmas boxes as your risers to create levels. You can use this same trick for any type of event. Just decorate the boxes to suit the occasion and use appropriate decor items.

You also can use footed platters and bowls to create more visual interest to your buffet.

However you do it, you can take a plain buffet and turn it into something spectacular.
