“Lighting is an essential element for creating the perfect ambiance. Use layered candle light at different heights across your tablescape.”
“This year’s hottest colour combinations are gold, white and silver. Add earthy natural elements like silver berries and dusty miller leaves mixed with metallic and lime.”
“To add that extra-special touch, you can print personalized menus for each guest. If you print their names at the top, they can take it as a keepsake.”
