Tips to create the perfect tablescape:

  • Stick to a color palette of 2-3 colors

  • Elevate the look with fine glassware and cutlery

  • Take the meal menu into account when planning the table layout

  • Don’t clutter the table too much or block guests’ view of each other

  • Keep a safe distance between candle flames and other flammable objects

 

Cheers!
