Decorating Your Christmas Table

We’re celebrating the launch of our Christmas Catalogue with some early inspiration for decorating come December – it might be too early to defrost the turkey and bring out the Christmas gift wrap, but it’s not too early to have fun thinking about how you might decorate this year. Christmas is the time of year for gift giving and spending time with loved ones, but let’s be honest: the Christmas feast is quite a highlight too! Whether you’re seated at a long table, kicking it buffet style or making the most of the great outdoors, we’ve got some tips, tricks and tools that you’ll need to dress your table (we’ll leave the turkey to you).
First, you’ll need to choose a theme.  It can be bold, bright or simple and sophisticated – the choice is yours!
Secondly, it’s time to decide. DIY Christmas decorations or instantly done?  We cater to both ends of the scale – order your Christmas decorations online and avoid the same generic Christmas ornaments, or combine pieces to make amazing, eye-catching centrepieces. The key rule of Christmas table decorating is simple: when decorating for Christmas, don’t limit yourself to the tree if you want to create a really immersive yuletide feel!

Vintage Chic:

A vintage Christmas can be luxe and inviting, especially when paired with lots of lush flowers and fragrance candles. Sometimes florals are forgotten at Christmas but this is the theme to really indulge. For something girly and glam, fill an ornamental Christmas sleigh with goodies, and string some Christmas tree lights around key areas of the home. Guests will love the layers of light this creates and the touch of sparkle will brighten everyone’s day!

Summary

  • Decorative candles are one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate an event space.
  • Consider the position of your candles and what candle holder materials would complement the rest of your décor.
  • Tealight, votive, and pillar candle holders are the most popular choices for event decoration.
  • If decorating a dinner table with candles always choose unscented candles as the aroma from the candles won’t interfere with the smell of the food.
  • Unlike tealight candles that are contained in a cup, votive candles are bare and will burn onto the surface of the holder.
  • Pillar candles are designed to burn inwards, making them great for church services and event spaces.
  • LED Candles have a beautiful natural glow and are safe to use in any event display.
  • Adding decorative sand or stones to the bottom of your candle holder can help stabilise the candle.

Decorative candles create an ambience of natural light that invites a peaceful calm into any event. They are also one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate an event space. But with a huge selection of candle holders to choose from, how do you select the right ones? This helpful guide will explain the different selections of candles holders, and give you some simple styling tips to help inspire you.

What is Waterproof Pot Tape?

What is Waterproof Pot Tape?

When we think of adhesive tapes we immediately think of sticky tape. Before pressure sensitive adhesive tapes (PSA’s) were invented, glue and paper was used to secure and bind packaging. The discovery of sticky tape came about when a scientist working for 3M back in 1925 discovered masking tape. Then, the same scientist discovered cello tape which was named Scotch® Magic Tape. These inventions paved the way for the invention of a very wide variety of tapes we see today.
