Season's Eatings

1 Fresh flowers are a lovely way to add some glam to your table setting this summer. The orchid is such a stunning flower you don’t need much else to create impact. The delicate pink of this dish and tablecloth teamed with burgundy and gold details creates a truly elegant look.

2 If you’re spending time at the beach over the holidays, this relaxed table setting will serve you not only on Christmas Day but throughout the summer season. This scheme is all about texture, with a relaxed linen tablecloth, whitewashed placemats, textured dinner plates and palm-frond place settings. Add a little glow with coconut-shell tealight holders.

3 This unexpected colour combo of peachy coral and soft lilac isn’t a traditional holiday colour scheme, but the addition of a small bunch of red berries instantly creates a festive feel. One way to keep costs down when it comes to table decorations is to sew your own linen napkins. These are easy to make. Simply take some linen in your preferred colour and sew around the edges to make a tidy border. Use any spare linen to wrap small presents and team them with a gift tag.
