Tamryn Kirby: Table For Under Twenty Pounds

So a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to have a day shooting lots of great styling and design set-ups for my fabulous new website with the wonderful Claire from Brown Box Photography. We rattled through lots of different looks and I love them all (so you'll all be seeing them over the coming weeks!).

I was really keen to do lots of DIY and to do some budget friendly styling details too and, in that spirit, today I'm bringing you a table for under twenty pounds. Yes indeed - this one is easy on the wallet and easy to put together on the day.

And here's what I spent my money on... Doilies (£5 per pack - I used a quarter of a pack = £1.25), Vases (50p each x 5 = £2.50), Cupcakes (these were made for me by the wonderful Indigo Cakes but you can get similar high street options from Waitrose at £1.04 each so 6 x £1.04 = £6.24), Flowers (I bought 3 bunches from my local market for £5), Pink Lemonade (on offer at Waitrose for £1.62 per bottle so 2 x £1.62 = £3.24 )

All of which rampant spendthrift-ery gives a grand total of (drum roll please...) £18.23. That's table decorations, chair decorations, place markers, favours/desserts and even some lovely pink lemonade for drinkies! Don't say I'm not good to you all! So, now you know what I bought and what I spent, here's what I did...

Above - the table runner is just doilies laid along the centre of the table, nothing complicated, no gluing or sticking, just place there where you want them and away you go...
