There are hundreds of rose species to choose from so get pruning.
Take red or white roses and submerge them in water in a clear glass, the effect is quite dainty. Take it a step further and float a small, round on the top of the glass. You don’t have to worry about remembering to water the roses and they will keep for longer.
Design trends making use of plants, ornaments, candles and wine glasses in creative ways.
Take unconventional items and use them to elegantly decorate your table, these design trends are quick and easy to mimic.
- Place a white tablecloth over your table and add three different sized aloe plants in a circle right in the middle of the table and add a christmas wreath to go around it.
- Bring a piece of something from outside and put it on your table, such as intricate leaves or the petals of roses and spread them across the table.
- You can never go wrong with candles, you have many arrangements and colours to choose from. Avoid using scented candles, because the smell could be off-putting for your guests while they eat.
