ANNIE & FREDDIE’S TOP TIPS

Pick a theme and go for it. In previous years, Annie has decorated her tree with vintage playing cards, while Freddie has opted for peacock feathers and dark baubles on a black tree. Steer clear of tinsel.

You don’t necessarily need to go shopping for decorations. Have a look around your home for what’s on hand.

Try non-Christmas items. Annie says bunches of Minties, bound with florist’s wire, look great and can be eaten afterwards. Andd they’re Christmas colours! Annie, a former florist, says fresh flowers such as Christmas lilies look great too.
