Color and Texture – The element of texture and color play a key role in a beautiful table setting.
I found the best ways to utilize color and texture is through plates, napkins, napkin rings, placemats, tablecloths, table runners, chargers, coasters, and place cards.
Start by creating a consistent color scheme that ties in with your theme and centerpiece. Once you have your color scheme in place, select your textures. Each element offers an opportunity to introduce an array of texture/materials to the table. This is where your creative side comes into play.
TIP - Keep a uniformity with your elements. Ideally you like each individual place setting to look the same. I find this provides for a calm table scene. Invest in a set of wine/water glasses, classic white plates and stop wondering where all those odd and end utensils came from and just pick yourself up a complete set of utensil ware.
With all that said, I say to you, YES! Yes, indeed these are words of permission for you to shop for your table. It deserves moments of glory and at what better way to live your one life than being surrounded at a beautiful table with people you know and love.
