Mountain Christmas Table , Next
50cm Wooden LED Star , £ 19.99 , Very
ALPINE WILDERNESS
Create your very own winter wonderland tablescape this Christmas with an understated white and snowy scene . Opt for natural materials for the tablecloth and napkins , which will still feel smart but less straight and formal . Don ’ t be afraid to drape the material ; be generous and make the most of the table space . Build interest with foliage and ornate objects like wooden stars , candle holders and one-off pieces that will add texture . For depth , incorporate mirrors , burnished metals and gilded glasses which will be sure to give an Alpine feel .
Brass Medium Star Lantern , £ 42 , Quince & Cook
Cedar Pine Foliage , £ 24.99 , Ginger Ray
Add natural charm with foliage , berries and dried fruits , and if you can hang foliage over the table even better . Mini trees are perfect for setting the scene and work well mixed in among the centrepiece . Use tableware and serving plates that are made from natural materials – try layering up wood , slate and stone in interesting shapes and designs . Recycled materials also work really well , for example glass with a hint of green . If you have time , you could even make your own chargers or place mats from recycled materials .
Go all out with the winter theme and add a little fake snow to the centerpiece – a dreamy winter wonderland . Amplify the magic with dainty LED fairy lights and plenty of candles – let ’ s face it , you can never overdo it at Christmas and who doesn ’ t love a bit of sparkle ?
