Christmas Tablescapes

How are you planning on decorating your Christmas table? Have you planned anything yet?
I started playing around with this yesterday. I was going to do the http://www.decoratingforum.com.au/sh...iece-4544.htmlshown here under our DIY forum. But I couldn't find any glass candlesticks at a bargain price.
I then found this picture and I am using it for inspiration. Mine will have a little less on it, especially no pinecones. I have half the table set in the dining room as I experiment. But I need a few more pieces to add.

What have you planned for decorating your Christmas table?

JA- check Big W for candlesticks. They have had some great knock off ones for under $10 over the last couple of years. I would NEVER have thought of them - but you might get lucky!

Thanks for the tip Lanne

. They must be the only store I didn't try as they are not close to us. I will try to get to them during the year and do that tablescape next year.

I am doing Christmas Eve... I have lots of bits and pieces but find the simplest arrangements the best and ROFL I produce my best work under pressure so I will see what I come up with......promising to take pics too...

Oh I am thinking of using my white tree I used for my sister's baby shower as a centerpiece......

I saw lots of those white trees being used as table centrepieces when googling. Yes lots of pictures please everyone

Just like JA, I've been playing around with the dining table (tablescape) in readiness for Chrissy.

There's only 5 of us ... myself, DH, DD, DS and my mum so I don't have a lot of table to decorate ... but I'm pretty happy with it!!

Well done Jess

. It is absolutely lovely

. The balls with rhinestones look great. I am definitely going to have to do that next year.
