Fast Christmas flowers: berry and rose place settings

If you don't have enough bud vases or matching glasses, an assortment of different-shaped glasses can look quirkily attractive.

You will need, for each place setting:

● bud vase or small glass
● red rose
● sprig of red berries, such as Ilex verticillata or rosehips

Pour a little water into the vase or glass.

Trim the stem of the berried sprig, so that the berries overlap the edge of the container.

Trim the stem of the rose to the same length. Tuck the rose into the container, so that the flower rests on the berries and slightly off-centre.

Place one at each place setting around your Christmas table.
