20 Red and Pink Christmas Tablescape Ideas With Bows, Stripes and Sparkle

Looking for a red and pink christmas tablescape with a little something extra? Think nutcracker plates, candy-striped candles and big bows tied around your napkins.

These ideas range from full tables of flowers and ornaments to simple place settings you can borrow a detail from.

You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the pink trees tucked between the greenery. There’s plenty here to inspire your Christmas table, whether you prefer pale pink or a brighter splash of red.

Red and pink Christmas table ideas to save

nutcracker plates and bow napkins

We’re starting off strong with these super cute nutcracker plates. I love the pink scalloped layers underneath and the red napkins tied with checked ribbon.

Try a greenery runner with red and pink ornaments to bring the same colors down the middle. The tiny pink-and-white nutcrackers are worth including too.

candy canes and pink trees

How cute are those candy canes hooked over the glasses? This view of the nutcracker table shows off the little pink trees and matching chair backs.

If you want to borrow just one detail, add a candy cane to each empty flute before your guests arrive.

pink bows and pale blue plates

This color combination may just be one of my favorites here. The pale blue plates look so pretty with pink bow-shaped napkins and red wavy trim.

Keep some of your tabletop showing around a narrow striped runner. The little pinecones scattered along this one are a lovely Christmas touch.

big pink chair bows

Don’t want the decorating to stop at the tabletop? These big pink bows tied behind the white chairs are such a cute extra detail.

The red tablecloth and tall twisted candles repeat the colors above. Try matching your chair bows to the pink ribbon around your candleholders.

personalized christmas crackers

I love the red and pink crackers in this setting. The names make them a sweet detail beside the plates, with little gold-colored ties at each end.

You could use matching place cards if you want to follow the same idea. Keep the crackers in alternating colors rather than choosing just one.

scalloped edges and candy stripes

If you love a candy-cane theme, this one is for you. The striped crackers and tall candy-cane decorations look adorable beside the pink runner with its red scalloped border.

I especially love the napkins gathered into bows. Try those over plain plates if you already have a set you’d like to use.

gingham and trailing ribbons

How pretty is this red gingham with the pink candles? The long ribbon tails and drooping green branches give you plenty to look at without patterned dinner plates.

For your own version, keep ribbons and greenery well away from flames. Flameless tapers would let you enjoy the same bow-covered look.

hanging ornaments and pink flowers

If you are looking for an all-out Christmas table, then this one is for you. There’s so much to love, from the pink flowers to the colorful ornaments hanging overhead.

The pink napkins sit on leafy patterned plates along a deep red tablecloth. I’d borrow that tabletop combination even without the overhead display.

a bow-filled inspiration board

Can’t decide between checks, stripes and bows? This collage gives you a little of everything.

I especially love the scalloped place card topped with a dark red bow.

Choose one detail from the board to start your own table. A striped runner and bow-tied napkins would be a lovely pairing.

oversized baubles and berry colors

I am obsessed with this ornament-filled centerpiece. The big pink and red baubles sit among greenery, smaller decorations and flowers in shades of pink and burgundy.

Try mixing ornament sizes rather than keeping them all the same. That little pink bottlebrush tree is such a cute addition between the larger pieces.

bowls full of ornaments

If you’re looking for a centerpiece without a long garland, go with bowls of red and pink ornaments. These raised bowls sit along a white runner with a few tiny baubles scattered below.

The wrapped gifts on the sideboard carry the same colors into the background. You could do something similar with your own gift wrapping.

striped plates and little bows

How cute is this place setting? The bold red stripes around the large plate look so good with the pink napkin and red bow.

I love the pale bow-shaped place card holder too. Choose one like this if you want to repeat the bow detail without tying ribbon around every single piece.

pink nutcrackers and candy hearts

This pink Christmas table is just too adorable. The tall nutcrackers stand beside a snowy-roofed house and a mix of pink and striped trees.

Put two candy canes together in a heart shape on each plate to borrow the sweetest little detail. The plain white plates leave plenty of room for it.

red tapers and a hanging star

Don’t want to fill every inch of your table? No problem!

This striped setting has slim red candles, a dark pink vase of flowers and pale plates.

The large orange-gold star above is my favorite extra touch. It gives you another decoration to enjoy without taking up any table space.

green print and bright pink napkins

Who says your tablecloth has to be red or pink? This green-and-white floral print looks gorgeous with bright pink napkins and red flowers.

The dark green bows are especially pretty against the napkins. Keep your plates plain white if you want to follow this combination.

festive plates and disco balls

The little disco balls are such a fun detail here! They sit beside gold-colored candleholders and scalloped plates covered in Christmas trees, candy canes and tiny festive figures.

Try adding name banners above your plates like these. The bow designs on the napkins and character cups make this setting especially playful.

wavy plates and red roses

I am obsessed with these wavy red and pink plates. The pale pink crackers with big red bows look so cute across them.

There’s plenty of flower inspiration here too. A low arrangement of red roses and pale pink blooms would be a lovely way to borrow the centerpiece.

a little striped tree village

Don’t want to use flowers for your centerpiece? Try this little collection of pink trees, red-and-white striped trees and a gingerbread-style house.

I love how the candy-cane hearts pick up the stripes on the centerpiece trees. You could start with a few small trees you already use elsewhere in your Christmas decorating.

red tree plates and white goblets

If you love detailed Christmas dishes, this setting is for you. The red tree plate sits over more red-and-white pattern and a scalloped white charger.

The white goblets are a favorite detail here. Bring in pink through a flower arrangement if you want to soften a mostly red table like this one.

burgundy bows on white plates

Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty pink table with burgundy bows. I love the ribbon stretched across each white plate with a bow in the middle.

Pink and deep red candles finish the simple arrangement. This is a lovely one to save if you’d rather skip the flowers and ornaments.
