9. Mediterranean Cypress and Pinecone Winter Tablescape
For late autumn and winter entertaining, take cues from the dramatic landscapes of northern and central Italy.

Intersperse gilded pinecones, star anise, dried orange rounds, and pillar candles set in glass storm lanterns for a warm, fragrant winter setting.
