Help. I’m doing a garden lunch for about 30 people and the tables are looking very plain right now. White plates, lots of greenery, and that’s about it.

I want to add some colour without it looking like a wedding or a five-year-old’s birthday party. I was thinking a bit of ribbon, some crinkle paper, maybe a few candles, but I don’t want it to look like I emptied a party shop onto the table.

What would you do? And what’s easy to clear up afterwards? The budget is pretty small, so I’m not trying to spend a fortune.
