I love to create storied tablescapes during the holidays, and there are plenty of ways to bring the cozy charm of old to the Christmas table. This year I'm chanelling the Nancy Meyers-inspired tableware trend – starting with a holiday tree napkin set I just discovered at ALDI.
You might not expect ALDI to be your first port of call for stylish table linens, but trust me, this set looks just like something from a classic holiday movie. With an intricate Christmas tree motif and a rich forest green hue, they perfectly encapsulate the sense of warmth and understated sophistication that defined the Nancy Meyers aesthetic. Plus, at just $9.99, they're a budget-friendly way to embrace the trend.
Boasting the kind of stylish yet homespun look at the heart of the Nancy Meyers trend, these napkins are a holiday staple. I'd style them with a crisp white tablecloth, vintage porcelain candlesticks, and gold flatware.
Since Nancy Meyers-inspired design is all about warm tones, classic prints, and a sense of lived-in luxe, it feels right to turn to heirloom pieces and antique finds. However, ALDI's holiday napkin set proves that elegant, nostalgic decor can be found in the most unexpected places – and at an unbeatable price, too. (Though if you're after more alternatives, I'd say the Elrene holiday napkins from Macy's are a safe bet, while Pottery Barn's holly embroidered napkins are ideal for a more neutral look.)
To me, it isn't so much about a look, but a feeling that inspires me to create the kind of joyful holiday table that I recognise from my favorite feel-good festive movies. I've kick-started my collection with vintage wine glasses and delicate floral dinnerware – I was thrilled to pick up a set of Spode x Morris & Co. dinner plates from Wayfair recently – but ALDI's table linens provide the perfect way to elevate my setup.
While I love the forest green shade of ALDI's holiday tree napkin set, it isn't the only piece I've got my eye on. The matching holiday tree placemat set would really complete the festive look – but for a more minimalist scheme, I'd go for the cream holiday deer napkin set or the charming gingerbread holiday placemats.
