Before you collapse at the finish line, here are a few tips from some inspiring creative types on how to make Christmas simple (or at least appear effortlessly stylish)!

Tips on making Christmas simple, but stylish:

 
I don’t do simple really, but I love what I did for the Eco Outdoor shoot where we made pineapple as candle holders! They’re an ideal centrepiece idea!
– Megan Morton, stylist

Quality and simplicity over quantity and disposable.
– Shelley Panton, potter

 
 
 
Choose foliage from your backyard or local area…if it’s seasonal you can guarantee it will be around every Christmas time, thus making for simple traditions you can stick too.
– Rebecca Trevitt, botanical artistry

We have quite a large collection of objects, sculptures, dishes and glassware that all make a star appearance at Christmas.  We also love to eat outside, so we use linen table cloths as a base them gather an eclectic mix of objects and serving ware that remind us of distant family, friends and places we have lived together.
– Mr Richard, PR and Events

Making Christmas simple by choosing one element and hitting it hard by using abundance.  My fall back trick is flowers. Flowers always shows you care.
– Kara Rosenlund, photographer
 
 

Don’t go crazy with all the festivities.  Remember there is a life after Christmas too.
