Setting A Beautiful Table

Posted: 1/7/2012

Elegant dishes, such as these, called Heritage, can be an inexpensive way to set the stage for a delightful dinner.

(NAPSI)—The next time you have friends or family over for dinner, show off your personal style by setting a beautiful table that makes your guests feel special.

The Table

Start by thinking about what kind of party you’re having. Decorate around a theme, a holiday, a season, a personal occasion, travel photographs and souvenirs or your favorite color.

Be creative with your centerpiece and make sure it ties back to your overall theme. Look around the house for ribbons, shells, flowers, candles, jewelry and unique items to use in your place settings and centerpiece.

For example, tie up the napkins with holly for a holiday party or decorate place settings with miniature pumpkins for a harvest theme. Fresh flowers are also nice to display on the table as long as they’re kept low so your dinner guests can see around them.

Be sure to use your favorite dishes. Whether you prefer clean lines, florals, casual or transitional patterns, your dishes should help you express your personal style while enhancing the food you are serving.
