20 Green and Gold Christmas Tablescape Ideas to Inspire Your Holiday Table

Looking for a green and gold christmas tablescape with a little something extra? Think tiny trees, bow-shaped napkins and greenery trailing over the edge of your table.

These ideas range from simple white place settings to sparkling centerpieces with plenty of ornaments.

You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the little pinecones on the plates.

Start with a detail you like, then bring in green napkins or gold-colored candleholders to make it your own.

Christmas Table Ideas With Green and Gold Details

trailing greenery and golden ribbon

We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous cascading centerpiece. I love the long golden-brown ribbons tucked through the greenery.

Little lights and shiny ornaments continue right down toward the end of the table.

Try mixing round leaves with longer evergreen branches if you want that same full look.

green napkins and little lanterns

How cute is this place setting? The dark green napkin has a wide gold-colored ring around the middle, with white plates and a braided brown placemat underneath.

The little trees and pinecones are worth keeping too. Add a gold-colored lantern down the center if you want to follow this arrangement.

gold-rimmed plates and emerald green

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. Fold green napkins into rectangles and place a little gold-colored decoration on each one.

I love the thin gold rims on the white plates. The golden-tinted glasses bring a little more color to the table without adding extra ornaments.

ferns and a candle centerpiece

This centerpiece may just be one of my favorites here. The tall fern fronds, pinecones and tiny pale flowers look so pretty around the central candle.

A bark-edged round base holds the arrangement together. For your own version, try a battery-operated candle inside a clear hurricane so the greenery stays away from an open flame.

tiny trees and pinecone napkins

I am obsessed with these little green trees. Their white-tipped branches look adorable beside the gold ornaments and clear candle cylinders.

Bring a bit of the centerpiece onto each plate with a pinecone and a small evergreen sprig. The plain green napkins make that little detail easy to see.

plaid napkins and green candles

Love a little pattern on your Christmas table? Try these dark plaid napkins with green goblets and tall green candles. The pale patterned tablecloth is such a pretty backdrop.

The pinecone centerpiece stays low between the candleholders. I’d keep that part simple rather than adding more tall decorations.

a tree with a glittery star

How adorable is this tabletop tree? That oversized gold-colored star is my favorite part!

Silver and gold baubles fill the branches, with tiny lights tucked between them.

Try a small decorated tree on a round gold-colored tray if you’d rather have one centerpiece than a long garland.

pale bows and orange slices

Don’t want to go overboard with sparkle? No problem!

This trailing garland has pale bows, bead strands and dried orange slices, with slender gold-colored candleholders along the center.

I love how much of the tabletop still shows beside the striped runner. Keep your plates and napkins neutral to follow this softer look.

twisted candles and shiny baubles

If you are looking for lots of gold details, then this one is for you. There are twisted gold-colored candles, clusters of shiny baubles and little berry decorations around the napkins.

The looped gold-colored holders are a fun extra touch. You could borrow just the ornament clusters if you want a simpler version.

tree-folded napkins

These Christmas tree napkins are just too cute. The table mixes plain green folds with green-and-white checks, each with a little brown stick showing underneath like a trunk.

Try alternating the two designs around your table. White plates give both versions plenty of room to stand out.

pinecone tower and golden trees

There’s so much to love about this table, from the tall pinecone-covered centerpiece to the little gold tree on each top plate. I especially love the broad green band around the plate underneath.

For a smaller take on this look, pair green plates with gold-colored chargers and a single pinecone decoration in the middle.

trailing lights and little presents

I love this leafy garland with its strings of lights hanging over the table edge. The pale gift-box decorations with bows are such a sweet addition.

If you want to try something other than baubles, tuck little decorative boxes between the leaves. Keep the trailing strands away from chairs and feet.

green tapers and little bells

This is a lovely way to decorate a long table without covering the whole thing. A narrow leafy garland runs down a neutral runner, with green tapers and little gold-colored bells beside it.

The tied green napkins are my favorite detail. Add a small sprig beneath each tie to bring the greenery onto the plates.

pale trees and citrus slices

Here’s a closer look at the pale freestanding trees and orange slices from the tree-napkin table. I love the simple tree shapes next to those loose green branches.

The metallic accents here lean more copper than yellow gold. For a gold-focused version, you could swap in gold-colored cutlery and use flameless tapers near the branches.

olive candles and neutral ornaments

Don’t want bright green napkins or lots of shiny baubles? This quieter combination is so pretty.

Olive-colored candles rise above a garland filled with taupe and white ornaments.

I especially love the ribbed round decorations beside the white pinecone shapes. The gold-colored candleholders add just enough shine for this look.

dark green bows and hanging baubles

I am obsessed with these bow-shaped napkins. The wide gold-colored rings look gorgeous against the dark green, especially with those ornate charger edges.

There are even green and gold ornaments hanging above the table! If you want to keep your decorating at table level, borrow the bows and matching green Christmas crackers instead.

white tapers and a leafy runner

If you’re looking for a table that doesn’t need lots of little decorations, go with this one. A full green garland, white tapers and slim gold-colored candleholders run down the bare tabletop. The white napkins keep the place settings just as simple.

olive green and a golden reindeer

How cute is that little gold-colored reindeer? It stands beside a branched candleholder, with miniature green and white trees scattered along the garland.

The olive tablecloth and matching napkins make this table a little different from the white settings above. I’d keep the pale scalloped plates too.

gold runner and folded green trees

This is another pretty way to use tree-folded napkins. Here, they sit on simple white plates over gold-colored chargers, with a golden runner down the middle.

The centerpiece mixes greenery, large gold baubles and pale flower decorations. Try adding loose ribbon loops if you want to follow that fuller arrangement.

gold lanterns and pinecone sprigs

Last but definitely not least, we have these gorgeous gold-colored lanterns and little bottlebrush trees. I love the dark green napkins with their raised pattern!

A pinecone and long green needles sit on each napkin. Keep that little finishing touch if you’re recreating the white plates and broad braided placemats.
