After all, Alison is quite the expert when it comes to festive d\u00e9cor and has wowed us again this year with her fabulous collection<\/a> of trees, lights and home accessories, all fit for your own personal winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

Alison’s Christmas table<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Next to the tree, the Christmas table is probably the most important symbol of Christmas and all it represents for us – family, friends, coming together, sharing and laughter. For me, a successful Christmas table is one that draws gasps from my guests, a table that is a delight to the eye and which adds to the drama and magic of a festive meal.<\/p>\n

I think every table needs a centrepiece and this is where you start, so to speak. I love to use candles (non-scented), real or LED, to draw the eye to the table centre, so something like my Metal Flower Candle Holders<\/a>, or perhaps my Gold Pre-Lit Beaded Garlands<\/a> wound round into a wreath with candles placed in the middle. Alternatively, you could use a different light source such as my Mercury Glass Tree<\/a> decorations to illuminate the centre of the table, or just use something with a bit of sparkle to reflect the light, such as my Beaded Glitter Velvet Cones<\/a>.<\/p>\n
