Tablescaping

Personally, I like to incorporate charger plates to my table setting, especially for Lunch & Dinner placement. There’s just something about layerings crockery with different textures that gives an elegant look even when you use the most basic plates.

It’s always fun to have a theme (though not mandatory) when setting a table, be it a colour theme or an ornament theme, as it helps make quicker decisions on how you want your table to look visually. My favourite theme to date was a last minute table prep I pulled together for a pink themed ‘Ladies Night’, dinner party. The original idea was to go with Gold & Green with a hint of Pink (feathers) but at the last minute (I really do mean 3 hrs before the dinner party was scheduled to begin), during a last minute food shop, I came across these gorgeous ribbed dusky pink wine goblets and matching tumblers picked up from Homesense and beautiful pink & brushed gold cutleries.
