5 Ways to Set the Table for the Festive Season
- Start with the linen- this is the blank canvas for your table; it will set the tone of the table and might influence your other choices.
- Go for the original, unusual or quirky- add pockets of interest with groups or collections. Throw in a natural element, flowers, fruits of the forest, nuts and berries.
- Use quality cutlery- sterling silver is very versatile and lasts forever.
- Mix and match tableware- new and old styles can work just as well as matching pieces!
- Have place settings with names- this gives a personal touch, avoids seating confusion and makes guests feel special. Placing a small present at each table setting creates an element of surprise and fun…The gift can be as big as a candle or as small as a trinket.
