This year’s Christmas shoot was all about embracing colour in a modern, refined way. Rather than sticking to the classic green and red palette, we built a festive story around pinks, reds, maroons, soft greens and subtle gold. The result was a table that felt fresh, elevated and unmistakably festive, a contemporary take on Christmas that still carries all the warmth of the season.

Picture a table set for a summer celebration: layered berry and blush tones, maroon for depth, gentle greens for balance, and gold accents that add a quiet hint of sparkle. Every element, from the flowers to the glassware to the small decorative touches, was chosen to echo the colour story without competing with it.

What makes this palette truly special, and why it’s set to be a favourite this season, is how naturally it fits the way we celebrate here. The colours are bold in all the right ways, striking that sweet spot between playful summer energy and understated festive style. They bring energy to daytime gatherings and a soft glow to evening dinners. Most importantly, they offer a refreshing alternative to the traditional Christmas look, giving you the freedom to create a table that feels personal, uplifting and genuinely memorable.

Why This Palette Works

Pink + Red → Unexpected but beautifully complementary, bringing energy and a sense of celebration.
Maroon → Adds depth and a refined, luxe finish.
Touches of Green → Keeps the arrangement feeling natural and seasonal without being overly traditional.
Gold Accents → The final layer of luminosity, giving the whole setting that unmistakable festive shine.

Together, these tones create a table that feels warm, vibrant and inviting, a fresh expression of the festive spirit.

How to Bring This Colour Palette Home

Start by choosing one or two anchor colours (we love red and pink), then layer in shades that sit comfortably alongside them. Allow your table decor, napery, candles and serveware to echo the palette rather than match it too closely. To lift the entire tablescape, include a signature piece that adds visual interest and a festive finishing touch.

Our Oh, Christmas Tree! Mini pine is a perfect example. While a Christmas tree isn’t traditionally found at the centre of a tablescape, its petite size and sculptural shape make it an unexpected yet charming focal point. Either place it at the centre or anchored at one end of the table, it will bring a sense of celebration and create a natural gathering point, all while living on long after the season ends.

For a softer, more floral driven centrepiece, our A Very Merry Vase is an effortless way to anchor your colour palette. Featuring festive blooms in those rich reds, blush pinks and fresh greens, it arrives beautifully arranged in our mini moss green vase. The lush florals naturally bridge the tones across your table, bringing instant cohesion and a polished finish that looks intentionally styled without the effort. Featuring festive blooms in those rich reds, blush pinks and fresh greens. 

Otherwise, think of the Joy! Bouquet as your shortcut to a table that looks intentionally styled. The palette of reds, pinks and greens lands that perfect modern festive balance, giving your setting both brightness and depth. Use it as a single statement in the centre, or break it into mini vases for a layered, contemporary look. It’s the kind of arrangement that doesn’t just decorate a table, it defines it. 

Christmas is all about the details that make a table feel effortlessly special, and this season, pinks, reds, maroons, fresh greens and a hint of gold are leading the way. These colours aren't just festive; they bring energy, warmth and a modern twist that instantly elevates any setting. Whether it’s a mini Christmas tree, a lush vase of blooms, or a line of bud vases down the table, each element works together to create a cohesive, memorable celebration. This is the season’s palette for a reason: it transforms your table from simple to unforgettable, making it feel thoughtful, bright, and unmistakably festive.
