Elegant pumpkin centrepiece

Leave traditional orange pumpkins to the kids and create an elegant centrepiece for a grown-up table

**DO IT YOURSELF** 1. Select a classic urn with a modern twist, such as the polished aluminum one we used. 2. Place a layer of small rocks in the bottom of the urn for drainage, add potting soil and plant ivy around the edge. 3. Set the pumpkin in the centre. 4. Adorn with pieces of dried kiwi vine. Perfect for an outdoor table centrepiece or indoors in a window or entryway.
