Nail your Christmas table style with modern pastel

Take a leaf out of 2016's style book and try this cutting edge combination. Dramatic black pairs with a big splash of pink for a modern Christmas that's all about embracing the best looks of the year

This modern look is not what you'd expect for a Christmas colour scheme but for the stylishly brave, it totally works. Blush pink was the colour of 2016, so its incorporation into your Christmas table setting is a trendy move. The pink table cloth is the perfect base for futuristic black plates, wine glasses and cutlery. Pops of white and copper complete the picture.
This innovative look deserves a Christmas menu with a twist. Try sophisticated starters like thesecrunchy salmon bitesandcaramelised pork and kumara bites. Go for something totally out of the box for the main course, like these gorgeousbarbecue lamb racks. Instead of a traditional pav, serve a delicateroulade.
If you want to make your mark this Christmas, this combination is sure to put you down in the festive style books.
