Vases and Foliage
Little bud vases dotted along the centre of
your table interspersed with candles will create
interest for your centrepiece without blocking
the person across from you. Take a colour from
your servewear and repeat it in the foliage to
bring a cohesive look to your table.

Lighting
Outdoor candles or outdoor lights or both!
Outdoor lighting has moved on in recent years,
not just the festoon lights hung in trees or
twinkly fairy lights, there are now solar powered
or portable table lamps available. Use outdoor
lights to highlight your favourite flower bed or
parts of your garden that might be hazardous
after a glass or two. Candlesticks for your table,
and lanterns around your favourite plants for a
beautiful flickering glow, as the sun sets.
