Elegance is <strong>the</strong> watchword for this Christmas <strong>the</strong>me. Use<br />
luxurious fabrics such as lace and velvet and add old gold,<br />
silver and burnished copper to your black and purple<br />
colour scheme. We used plain white plates, but spray<br />
painted a lace design onto our charger plates to make<br />
<strong>the</strong>m look more special. The silver cutlery, metallic frames<br />
and black Christmas baubles with glitter add sparkle to<br />
<strong>the</strong> festivities. The wine glasses are in various shades of<br />
amber and purple, matched by <strong>the</strong> glass containers for<br />
<strong>the</strong> candles. Simple arrangements of lilac-pink tulips,<br />
wine-red peonies and deep-pink roses are <strong>the</strong> only o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
touches of colour.<br />
