For a stylish celebration, decorate your Christmas table with china and plenty of elegant glassware.
Show off your menu in a mirrored frame. Hand-write it or print it on a piece of subtly patterned wallpaper, then put it in an elegant frame and display it on the table.
A cake stand filled with treats makes an unusual and yummy centrepiece. Stack glass cake stands then fill them with white flowers, chocolates, novelties and silver Christmas crackers.
Don't forget to extend the white and blue look to your drinks. Fill a clear glass vase with ice and a sprinkle of metallic confetti, then add mini bottles of Champagne.
White candles and roses placed on the table and along the mantel will finish this look beautifully.
