CHRISTMAS IDEAS<br />
WORDS DAvInA RICHARDS<br />
Whether you intend to have your Christmas feast and festivities by the<br />
beach, at your holiday home or in the back garden, here are a few ideas<br />
to pull off a memorable experience as warmer weather invites us into<br />
the outdoors.<br />
CREATIvE ACCEnTS<br />
Large outdoor spaces mean you can create an elaborate Christmas<br />
setting or a warm and cosy backyard. A decorative chandelier<br />
wreath hung from a tree branch over the dining table works well<br />
as a centrepiece, and smaller branches can be decorated with<br />
hanging flowers, baubles, paper lanterns or voile curtains for a soft<br />
and luxurious look. For something different, style a vintage fireplace<br />
surround and place it thoughtfully against an exterior wall; add a large<br />
flower display on top coupled with towering candle holders and<br />
various Christmas ornaments and decorations, such as pine cones and<br />
antlers to finish it off. Display balloons and float a herd of candles in<br />
the pool to create ambience and reflection.
