Festoon With Foliage

Adorn your home with exquisite greenery for a natural take on yuletide decor

BRING THE LIGHT

The classic wreath can often be far too beautiful to be left out in the cold, so if you decide to display one inside always consider how its foliage will work with your interiors. A design like this seed head and moss creation has a wonderfully pale and ethereal look, making it the ideal focal point for a darker corner in your home. In this setting, the curved shape of the demilune table echoes the circular wreath, while the white bowl picks up on the highlighted areas of foliage above. If you are looking for other options to add pale tones to a wreath, consider integrating white heather or snowberry as both will stand out in darker areas.

LEAVE A TOKEN

Consider creating natural decorations that not only look beautiful but also act as party favours. Worm London wired dried leftover materials from bigger projects into a circle to create a look that will outlive the evening and become an elegant keepsake.

TABLE TALK

This centrepiece looks impressive but it is actually very easy to create. Start by pushing foliage stems into well-soaked florist’s foam in a bowl – letting them overflow for a luxurious look. Place a candle ring on top, cover with moss and finish with pine cones.

PLEASE BE SEATED

We often focus on the table and place settings when adding foliage to our dining tables, but why not consider adding subtle seasonal touches elsewhere? A simple idea is to secure a bunch of slender stems to the back of the chairs with a fine ribbon.
