CENTRE OF ATTENTION
Take your cue for festive fabulousness from Philippa Craddock with this effortlessly elegant table setting; it's a look that's big on impact but small on effort. For the centrepieces, create a chicken wire dome to fit into your desired bowl, securing with tape, then carefully position each stem as you go, making sure to choose ones at different heights to form an asymmetrical shaped design. A mixture of hardy seasonal greenery with added white woody stemmed wax flowers or hellebores should do the trick. 'Don't worry about it being perfect the design is to be relaxed and loose,' explains Philippa.

EVERLASTING

These will silver and dry as the festive season goes on, eventually drying so that you can either leave your wreath up or save it for next year,' suggests Hattie.
