Botanical, natural or metallic? Create a gorgeous tablescape that's as memorable as Christmas dinner

GREAT 'SCAPES

With the silly season comes a full social calendar.

When it's your turn to host a dinner party, make the most of the festivities with a themed tablescape. Try a botanical aesthetic – pay homage to New Zealand's flora with crockery and embellishments in varying green hues. For this look, stick to a palette of greens and whites or creams. However, you could sneak in a burst of orange or yellow, if necessary. Bud vases with flowers are a must.
