Style Tips for a Chic, Festive Table
- Mix textures: Combine crisp linens, hand-printed fabrics, and natural greenery.
- Don't be afraid of colour: Let one statement colour pop (ruby red or emerald green) and use contrasting colours for the decorative elements, think orange clementines with emerald green and caramel tones with ruby red.
- Add thoughtful details: Place cards, tied ribbons, acorns, gold chocolate coins make a table feel personal and curated.
