Design
& Style
Spring is the
ideal time for special events and outdoor gatherings.
Here are some simple, but elegant ideas to create that perfect
table.
Asian
Inspiration
When you
think “Asian,” bamboo, wild orchids and chopsticks may be a
few of the items that come to mind.
The bamboo placemat sets the stage with its natural texture.
Square-shaped plates add to the Asian feel,
especially whenaccompanied by chopsticks instead of
silverware. Top your napkin with beautiful orchids,
live or silk, and off you go on your culinary journey!
Seaside
Setting
The colors
of sand and surf are the inspiration for this tranquil
tablescape. Incorporate warm sand tones
with linens and rustic
woven mats. Blue and turquoise hues of the sea can be added
with tumbled sea glass.
Place candleholders and flower vessels
on the table, along with some of your favorite beach
treasures,
such as shells, sand dollars and starfish.
Pretty
in Pink
Neutral tones
set the stage for soft pinks to shine. Think beyond the center
of the table for your
floral arrangements and provide your guests with individual
flowers at their place setting.
Accent your table with pink candles to add a decorative soft
glow.
