IN BLOOM
Bring the outdoors in with an elegant country garden theme. Think fresh green foliage and an abundance of flowers in a glorious mixture of colours spilling from enamel jugs, vases and watering cans for rustic charm. Mix and match china, glassware and silverware and team with embroidered tablecloths, napkins and floral bunting for an eclectic and pretty aesthetic. Tea lights in mason jars, candles in bird feeders and lots of beautiful lanterns will create a soft ambience as the sun sets.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
French bohemian meets Bedouin gypsy in this vibrant vision of boho style. Experiment with rich hues; choose floral arrangements bursting with colour and exotic scarves and beads to decorate the tables and chairs. Bring natural elements to the picture with wooden birdcages and wicker hearts. Enhance the sense of texture and glamour with embroidered silk table runners or overlays, and finish with beautiful chandeliers, tall candelabras and jewelled candleholders for sparkle.

VICTORIAN ELEGANCE
Create a refined and graceful setting reminiscent of the Victoria era. Lots of lace and fine china embellished with delicate details are keynotes of the look. Lavish your tabletops with silverware, crystal glassware and candelabra adorned with grapes. For an elegant flourish, add garlands with white floral arrangements full of sweet smelling roses. The Victorians used flowers as a form of language so pay special attention to the meaning of the flowers you choose. Complete the picture with doilies for name place cards and table numbers.

WINTER WONDERLAND
For the ultimate in chic, wintery style, opt for a sophisticated setting with oodles of sparkling detail. Wall and ceiling drapings and effective lighting will transform your venue into a realm of fantasy and enchantment. Choose exotic orchids, dusty hydrangeas and dramatic foliage like silver eucalyptus, and mix painted and natural twigs in tall conical vases to create a winter woodland effect.
