christmas - designers guild style

























































How beautiful do these table settings and decorations look? Lots of candles, lots of flowers, and beautifully wrapped gifts.
I love the flower garlands - they take time, but look amazing, especially if you use long lasting flowers such as carnations, marigolds and chrysanthemums. Use fishing nylon or strong linen thread and keep the flowers fresh by spraying them with water. Intersperse the flower lengths with torn strips of fabric or ribbon. We tied little bells on ours too.
