Rustic Black and White Christmas Table

Rustic Black and White Christmas Table -wood chargers, a chocolate birch bark yule log cake, and handmade clay mushrooms make this woodsy table special.
Preparations for Christmas are well underway, and today I wanted to share my Rustic Black and White Christmas Table to hopefully inspire you as you finish up your holiday to-do list this week.

Black and White This years Black and White Rustic theme for the table was inspired by the new buffalo check accent wall in the dining room.  I tried not to go over board with the buffalo check, but it is a big element of this pretty table.

Place Settings

I used my everyday white dishes, and then added some striped Hearth and Hand napkins.  The black cutlery  looks great on the chargers.

I decided on the place settings quite early on, but wasn’t sure what to do for a centrepiece.  Flowers, or an evergreen garland with candles would have both been really pretty too.

Birch Yule Log

I decided to try making a yule log, and it became the centrepiece of the table.

I was inspired by this chocolate birch bark -and added it to a vanilla yule log.  My daughter Maddie and I made this yule log -but without the chocolate.  And then we added these meringue mushrooms.

I used a cutting board to serve the yule log on, and because I wanted it to be the star of the show I elevated it and added some greenery.

The little meringue mushrooms got a sprinkling of cocoa, and the whole cake got some powdered sugar “snow”.

More Mushrooms

The mushrooms on the cake inspired the rest of the table centrepiece. I used some mushrooms that I had used for a spring table -see them here.  They’re made from air dry clay, and they got a little snow added to them for Christmas.

The birch bark on the yule log, inspired me to use birch bark candles.
