Leaf garland
Your table decor doesn’t have to come from the kitchen or holiday section at your local department store. Instead, use terracotta plant saucers as chargers and mix and match vintage glasses from your local thrift store. A gorgeous tablescape does not need to cost a fortune or take a lot of time.
