Pull out all of the colors for Spring and Easter.
Who needs a little table setting inspiration—ME. Sometimes I run out of ideas, or maybe I just run out of steam. I am trying to do a better job of the whole table setting thing … even if it is just for two. I could have one to seven at my table at any given time. We have family, friends and the occasional house guest dropping by frequently—we do live in a resort town, lol. Here are a few tricks that I have learned to help me set a beautiful table … and a few tables to inspire you.
- Always keep table clothes and place mats ready for use. I use large hangers for BB&B—keep it simple.
- Keep an assortment of candles on hand—every size and color. By them when they are on sale at the end of the season.
- Collect pretty glasses in colors to add interest—garage sales and thrift stores are good places to look.
- Mix and match silver ware, plates and even glasses…not everyone has a whole set of these.
- KISS … keep it simple silly! Best idea of them all—set the table for a week or two and clean as needed.
- Sit down and enjoy the beautiful table and food—even if it is only take-out.
Colorful china to mix and match for Spring—Erika Reade.
Use your collections—has Martha Stewart seen this for her collection.
I always love a good mix of blue and white.
How about using a quilt or throw as a table cloth.
Group a few lovely candle sticks together for an instant centerpiece—Erika Reade.
The table setting included those green plates I found at Helen Ballard’s estate sale and a throw as a tablecloth.
I would love to be a guest at this party—Francie Hargrove.
Tish Mills used a blue and white vase with simple leaves for a centerpiece.
Another table features another classic—blue and white from Rustixs.
Black and white is simple and classic.
Cute coral plates make a statement—from The Vine, St. Simons Island,
Your table would love these napkins from Elizabeth Smith on St. Simons Island.
Themed tables are a great idea too—Erika Reade, Atlanta.
Or WOW them with this dramatic table from Ballard Designs.
Even a simple boxed lunch can be elevated by a little ribbon and greenery from the garden!
