The background is a pastel tablecloth and chair covers. Bright accents - dishes, candlesticks and a bouquet - create a feeling of freshness and warmth. The elegant composition consists of only two types of plants. And although they are not squeezed into a vase, but stand freely, the bouquet does not fall apart. The secret is simple: the plants are held in place by an invisible frame. You can learn how to make this composition yourself from our master class. For dinner, as a main course, we suggest serving delicious and healthy tomato puree soup with pistachios. Enjoy your meal!Table setting for the holidayPhoto 1.Sideboard with upper cabinet Leksvik, 9590 rub., dining room set Jokkmokk, 4990 rub. (all - IKEA). Photo 2. To make the composition you will need a wide vase, scissors, thin tape. The bouquet includes small-flowered green chrysanthemum and orange tulips-"parrots". Photo 3. Thin tape is glued across and along a transparent vase. As a result, the intersecting tape strips should form a grid on the surface. For such a voluminous composition, it is important that the vase is wide, then the flowers will not sit tightly and heavily in it. Photo 4. Carefully pour water into the vase and trim the flowers to the desired length. Insert the flowers into the holes formed by the tape grid. In the middle we form an "island" of green chrysanthemums, and along the edge a "crown" of tulips. The festive table decoration is ready.Photo 5, 6.A similar principle of constructing a flower arrangement can be used not only in a round vase, but also in any other vase. The bouquet will not fall apart, the plants will not fall. And since the composition is in water, which can be added and changed, the flowers will delight the eyes of the guests for more than one dinner. Photo 7. Original candlesticks are made from ordinary wide glass cups and decorative paper used for wrapping flowers and gifts. Cut a piece of paper to the size of the glass, then simply wrap the glass with it. Then connect the edges of the paper either with tape or with an ordinary safety pin. And finally, put a small burning candle in the glass. Photo 8. A cute detail of table setting - a small gift for your guests. Immediately before sitting down at the table, put a tulip on each guest's plate. This will complete the elegant picture. And the guests will be pleased to take with them a small memory of a wonderful evening.
