A beautiful table setting can be created quite easily with a few olive branches – they can be fake or real if you are lucky enough to have one in your garden.

Cut some long stems and place in a vase in the centre of the table, then cut shorter ones and place one on each place setting.

Co-ordinate your colours and use your imagination with candles, napkins, or paper serviettes and give it the final finishing touch with pieces of olive branch.

A very similar effect can be achieved using eucalyptus, or even flowers, if you have no olive branches.

The result will be a very effective and make your guests think…WOW!
