The Christmas tree might be the centre of attention each year but why not make it the dining table? A place where loved ones gather to share food, stories and not-so-funny bon bon jokes, set the scene with an Insta-worthy tablescape. Whether you’re a traditionalist, a merry modernist or a seasonal sparkler – the first step is to choose your festive theme. Once you’ve selected your theme, choose your colour palette followed by flowers, foliage and your favourite holiday decor (we love adding candles, baubles and mini ornaments).
There are a few ways to add flowers to your tablescape: as a centrepiece in your favourite vase, disassembled and placed in mini vases as single stem arrangements or as a pretty, floral touch on napkin rings (

This time of year gives us permission to play Wham! and Mariah Carey all day, every day while we add a flourish here and there to the home. Make the most out of your bouquet by creating mini arrangements (placed in individual vases or as a set of three) and placing them in your favourite spots to be admired, a DIY garland for the mantlepiece or giving your bunch a second life as dried flowers (https://dailyblooms.com.au/blogs/the-daily/top-5-ways-to-repurpose-your-blooms) for a stunning and sustainable addition to your Christmas corner.
When it comes to classic colour combos, you can’t beat green, red and white but if you prefer a more contemporary take, shades of purple, pink and blue also work well along with gold and silver embellishments.
