Celebrate the warmth of an Aussie summer by transforming your al fresco dining space into a vibrant and inviting gathering spot, perfect for sharing good food and cherished moments with loved ones.
Natural elements: Use native Australian flowers, like banksias or eucalyptus, as centrepieces. Incorporate greenery, such as ferns, to create a lush look.
Festive tableware: Choose vibrant tablecloths and napkins in traditional Christmas colours — reds, greens and golds.
Fairy lights: String fairy lights or lanterns above the table for a warm, twinkling ambience as the sun sets.
Outdoor candles: Use candles in hurricane lanterns to create a cosy atmosphere. Citronella candles can also help keep bugs away.
Pine cones and baubles: Incorporate pine cones, ornaments, or baubles as table decorations. You can place them in bowls or scatter them across the table.
Seasonal fruits: Use bowls of seasonal fruits, like cherries, mangoes, or stone fruits, as both decoration and a refreshing snack.
Personalised place settings: Create personalised name cards or small gifts for guests at each place setting to add a special touch.
DIY decorations: Get crafty with homemade decorations, such as painted rocks or natural wreaths.
Cool drink station: Set up a festive drink station with holiday-themed cocktails or non-alcoholic beverages, adding to the overall décor.
