Luxurious Tablescaping Themes For Your Festive Meal
Why not make 2020’s Christmas get-together totally elegant and unique? Unleash your creativity with these fabulous tablescaping ideas from stylist and photographer Eve Conroy!
Designer tips…
- Arrange a length of luxury fabric down the centre of the table. Resist the urge to stretch it out flat, but instead create artful twists and mounds, reminiscent of a still life painting.
- Velvet and satin work particularly well, but experiment with whatever you have in your desired colour. Take care once you light the candles, though, as hot dripping wax can melt fabrics as well as sticking to them.
- Group together candlesticks in different widths and sizes, unified by style and colour.
- Be daring – try sprigs of fabulous blue faux berries, or cheekly monkey candle holders, for a real statement that will have guests exclaiming in delight!
