Embrace the joy of the holiday season and the beauty of the great outdoors with our festive outdoor Christmas table decor ideas.

Celebrate the warmth of an Aussie summer by transforming your al fresco dining space into a vibrant and inviting gathering spot, perfect for sharing good food and cherished moments with loved ones.

Natural elements: Use native Australian flowers, like banksias or eucalyptus, as centrepieces. Incorporate greenery, such as ferns, to create a lush look.

Festive tableware: Choose vibrant tablecloths and napkins in traditional Christmas colours — reds, greens and golds.

Fairy lights: String fairy lights or lanterns above the table for a warm, twinkling ambience as the sun sets.

Outdoor candles: Use candles in hurricane lanterns to create a cosy atmosphere. Citronella candles can also help keep bugs away.

Pine cones and baubles: Incorporate pine cones, ornaments, or baubles as table decorations. You can place them in bowls or scatter them across the table.

Seasonal fruits: Use bowls of seasonal fruits, like cherries, mangoes, or stone fruits, as both decoration and a refreshing snack.

Personalised place settings: Create personalised name cards or small gifts for guests at each place setting to add a special touch.

DIY decorations: Get crafty with homemade decorations, such as painted rocks or natural wreaths.

Cool drink station: Set up a festive drink station with holiday-themed cocktails or non-alcoholic beverages, adding to the overall décor.
