A Blue Italian Christmas

This Christmas table features sparking gold, deep navy Christmas decorations and elements of foliage to each napkin. Fancy recreating this look to impress your family and friends during your festive celebrations? Follow these simple steps...

You will need:
- Blue Italian Dinner Plates
- Blue Italian Side Plates
- Blue Italian Cereal Bowls
- Gold cutlery
- White napkins
- Gold ribbon
- Gold baubles
- Peacock feather Christmas Tree
- Eucalyptus sprigs, sprayed gold
- Asparagus fern x4 (your local florist should stock these)

Follow these simple steps:
1. To begin, we are going to create your super easy gold fern napkins. Take your napkin and tie a gold ribbon of your choice around the middle into a bow. Place the fern behind the bow. Put your napkins to one side.

2. Now we are going to build the centrepiece! Begin by getting your gold glitter leaves and snip off the stems so that you are just left with the leaves and 4 straw-like stems around 6inches long. Save the stems for later. Place the leaves down the centre of your table and add the eucalyptus sprigs to fill out any gaps and give your homemade garland a different texture.

3. Now add in your mini peacock feather Christmas tree to the centre of the table and adjust your homemade leaf garland around the tree. You can then add your artificial peacock feather baubles to the left and right of the tree.

4. Place a glass of your choice (we chose some large wine glasses for obvious reasons) on the top right of each place. Get back out your glittery stems from earlier, and place one in each glass. These are just for an extra bit of sparkle, we recommend taking these out before you enjoy your drink, although a sparkly wine would be pretty fabulous!

5. Set out your cutlery and begin to layer each place setting. Place down your dinner plates and side plates and layer with bowls on each dinner plate, and pop your napkins on each side plate. Watch our table setting video below for a guide onto how to lay each plate.

6. Finally, place your gold beaded baubles into each bowl to give your place settings an extra festive touch! If you wish, you can give the baubles to your guests as a little Christmas gift or, when it's time to serve, add to your table centrepiece amongst the leaves.
