With our world changing and everyone becoming more environmentally aware and responsible, I thought I’d look to nature this Christmas, instead of rushing to the shops for some bits and pieces. The truth is, with a bit of inspiration, the results are so much lovelier than some Chinese baubles and moulting tinsel. Often it’s the simplest things that are the prettiest and, even more often, the most memorable. So I’ve gathered a bunch of beautiful ideas for simple ways (using the already perfect mother nature) to add warmth and style to your festive decor. There’s absolutely no excuse for a boring festive table this year, just look at all this inspiration!
