Christmas is all about gathering together for a feast with your favourite people. Sydney furniture makers Mark Tuckey asked seven of their favourite creatives to create a Christmas table (Some are glitzy, some are glam, some are just plain dotty) and weโre sharing one with you each day this week.
Beauty blogger Nikki chose the traditional looking Farmhouse Table but went for a look that wasn’t traditionally Christmassy.ย “I went for an overย abundance of peonies (my faves, whichย are only around at Christmas time), pink reindeer and a glitter gold star theme.
“I kept the peonies cut short so guestsย could see each other across the table,ย and scattered them down the entireย length of the table in different sizedย vases. I tried to create ‘deconstructedย bon-bons’ with super-cute crowns andย star headbands, and little chocolateย treats in the Uashmama bags, placed onย everyone’s plate.
“The serviettes were tied with baker’s twine and feature aย little pink reindeer. And so I didn’t cover the amazing Mark Tuckey table, I made my ‘placemats’ using an outline of glitter washi tape.
“Finally, to get all the senses going, I placed gorgeous Maison Blanche ‘Australian Christmas’ and ‘Buttered Popcorn’ candles down the middle of the table, which smelt amazing!โ
