Use Lots of Candlelight

Candles create such a flattering look, both for the guests at the table and for a gorgeous table itself. “Use candles and holiday ornaments abundantly,” says celebrity event planner Colin Cowie. “When it comes to candles, there is no such thing as enough: the more [candles], the more glamorous. Use tall tapers in tall holders, use stubby pillars and fill in the space with mismatched and odd-sized votive candles. In between, use bunches of ornaments or planted amaryllis which are showy and last a while.”
