Whether it's for the big day that is Christmas, or the countless other alfresco soirées you will be indulging in this summer, creating a unique and memorable table setting will give your gathering the edge it needs.
Illuminate the table with a number of robust stainless steel laterns rather than just tea lights and candles.
Create a cheese and charcuterie board, using the entirety of a wooden table. The array of different antipasto items look indulgent and decorative especially when presented on butchers paper (brown) and a little greenery.
Invest in cutlery that has a point of difference, like rose gold, brass or charcoal.
Dress your wooden bench seats with sheepskins for comfort as well as a snug Scandinavian accent.
Manufacture a whole new meaning of festivity by including real fruit in your floral arrangements.
For naturists, a fresh and earthy setting is created with a dull form of greenery like olive leaves or branches.
Opt for Japanese arrangement by using orchards, pottery, blush tones and greys.
For those who prefer a monochromatic disposition, simply add some herbs/baby tears to the centre of the table.
Don't be afraid to forage flowers, herbs, leaves and branches on your morning walk. It is a meaningful way to put a personal spin on your festive table.
