This Christmas will be special for so many, as families reunite to spend the day together. If you’re hosting this year, you may wish to elevate your table setting game to make the day even more memorable.
So where do you start? Pick a theme. Consistency and coordination are always best. Here are some of our favourite theme ideas:
- White Christmas - Paper snowflakes, fake snow, doilies, frosted wreaths and snowmen.
- Nature/Australiana - Bring the outdoors in with pine cones, plant sprigs, citrus and holly. Or go for an Australiana theme with bouquets of native flowers in addition to pine cones, eucalypt, rosemary sprigs and earthy tones.
- Lavish - Metallics are hero, with candles, ribbons and garlands being metallic hero’s on a white or black base.
- Traditional - Traditional reds and greens are always a winner and never out of style.
Take stock of what you already have:
- What do you already own that you can use to complement your theme?
- Take a walk outside. What natural elements can you bring in? E.g. rosemary from the garden, eucalypt, berries and sprigs.
- Make a list of what you need and research what’s available online (and check out some of our recommendations below).
