Jessie from Ruby + James has established herself as one of Melbourne's go-to weddings stylists, so who better to ask about table styling than her. 

Here are Jessie’s top 5 for tips for styling your Christmas table:

Play on texture

From dried florals, unique shaped branches and fruit, don't be afraid to experiment with textural layers.

Mood lighting

As those long lunches turn into summer night dinners, adding tapered candles and tea lights to your table setting will create the perfect ambience.

Linen layers

A linen table cloth and napkins will not only make your guests feel extra special but will elevate the look and feel of your setting. It's also a great way to add a pop of colour.

Personal touches

As we've spent so much time apart from our loved ones this year, why not add a personal note to each setting to let your guests know how much you appreciate the time you're able to spend with each other. I can guarantee, it will evoke those warm and fuzzy feelings.

Signature Cocktails

It's time to bring out the crystal ware from the cupboard. Brush up on your bartending skills and offer your guests a signature cocktail, a little surprise they won't expect. Our go-to: Whisky Sours, picking the lemons straight from the garden.
