Clear fairy lights (that’s what they call the little Xmas lights in England)
Glass vases filled with Hazelnuts and a candle. Glass vase with Cranberries and Greenery or Glass vase filled with Persimmons and a glass vase with Clear Stones and a real or fake flickering candle.
I saw a magnificent display window in a store a few years back. They had taken a chunk of white wax (which is used for candle making and you can get it at the crafts store) so it was about 4 inches thick, they broke off random chunks about a foot in length and maybe 8 inches across (but you could make them bigger or smaller depending upon your needs). Then they got some of those lovely tiny fake pine trees that people use either for model railroads or for ceramic Christmas scenes (you know the ones with the little houses?) stuck a few of those in the wax, added a few tiny people (also from the craft store or Christmas store for those villages) and then sprinkled a little bit of fake fake snow on top and voila! They were some of the most lovely winter displays I’ve ever seen. This is what the block of wax looks like.
I love these Pinecone Place Card Holders
These Log Candle Holders are very nice too.
If you can still find them, White Pumpkins make lovely vases for either white flower arrangements, or arrangements with pine/holly/eucalyptus and red roses. You can also use the itty bitty white pumpkins either as vases, or just part of the whole scheme.
You can also rent a Gobo, which is a projector that has a specific shape cut into a screen that goes in front of the projector and turns. As you can see they make them in Snowflake Designs If you have a stage and lighting place in your town, that’s where you would get one of these.
Here is a pretty table Design with cut branches, candles and pinecones.
You can also make table designs with pinecones and tree branches (to go in vases) that you have Flocked. I think you can get the flocking spray in cans at the craft store.
This is not a very good Picture but I saw on another site, that I can’t recall, where they had taken rectangular clear glass vases, filled the bottom 4 inches with salt (rock salt or other slightly chunky salt, or just plain salt, whichever is affordable) then they stood branches up in the salt. Very minimalist, but very beautiful.
Glittered Fake Fruit is very pretty.
You can also tie a little string around the cloth napkins with a little pine sprig attached to it, and you can also add a tag with the person’s name, as a place card. These would be on the plates on the tables.
