A fool-proof table design will always be a lovely, lush garland and a few candle sticks. However, if you want to dress up this simple focal point, add some adornments to the garland, such as shiny beads, dried citrus rounds, pinecones, holly, or anything that sparks your fancy. Also, try experimenting with a fresh, real garland if you never have before; the crisp holiday scent is unbeatable.
