MULLED WINE MOMENTS

EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY

Bring a rich festive feel to your dining table with a cosy colour palette of moss and smoky greens, terracotta, plaster pink and deep reds. Use foliage cuttings and dried hydrangea flowers from the garden to make a country-style garland to adorn a mantelpiece or shelf, alongside a lit and decorated Christmas tree to set the festive scene. For a beautifully styled Christmas table, pair vintage wooden chairs painted in bronze-red with plates in greens and terracotta. Scatter walnuts and satsumas across the surface to complete the natural décor.
