When you incorporate pot chrysanthemums into a serene and tranquil Christmas setting, you'll rapidly be embracing the minimalist charm of Scandinavian design. For a stylish and aesthetic-looking tablescape, make sure to stick to a color scheme of whites, light fresh greens, and natural tones.

The result of this setting's simplicity, combined with the beauty of various types of pot chrysanthemums, will express a sense of calm and sophistication. You can use varieties such as Chrysanthemum Alpine Time, Chrysanthemum Hermosa White, Sollinea® Luna White, Chrysanthemum Mount® Corbet, and Chrysanthemum Mount® Gerlach.

The bells start ringing when Christmas time is near and in almost every part of the world, red, white, and green take over for the festivities. In this case, reds and whites make a stunning combination to create a great X-mas tablescape.

It is recommended to choose a red and white plant color scheme for a classic and timeless Christmas table.
