ShareThisFrom casual to formal, stunning table settings are sure to add an elegant touch to your next dinner party. Get ideas and design tips for centerpieces, dinnerware and decorations:
-- Use colors that complement the season and your guests.
-- Be sure to consider how the table setting will mesh with your dining room.
-- Too much color can overwhelm your table setting; you want color without going overboard.
-- Personalize each place setting with a special memento.
-- Choose a design that looks rich and is appealing to both men and women. For example, plaid plates for the guys; roses, silver, beaded placemat for the ladies and a mix of expensive and affordable items.
-- For a more casual affair, tone down the table setting with warm colors.
-- Add height with candles and plants.
-- When in doubt, try a simple table setting with a dramatic backdrop, such as white plates and napkins on a naturally beautiful tabletop.
