Nowadays, a nice table setting goes well beyond that one showy silver candlestick or that pompous white floral centerpiece. Florist Gudrun Cottenier shows how it's done, with style and ease. Her tips will guide you to the floral tablescapes of your dreams — without too much effort, costs or sleepless nights. Gudrun Cottenier favours materials that won't cost you an arm and a leg, but can simply be gathered in the garden or in nature. Unpretentious materials that can be transformed into a unique eye catcher without too much hassle. A minimum of effort, but with a maximum effect.
