Place Settings 6 Ways

Do you like to play with all your dishes and glassware? I’m obsessed with trying new place settings with whatever I have laying around the house (including a little champagne and some yard clippings). I have lots of fabric remnants and sometimes they provide that tiny bit of inspiration I need to create something unique. Below are a few cool place settings in six different variations. I mix brass with nickel, glass with china with herbs from my yard and….yes… champagne or wine (red + white).  Don’t think that just because a holiday is traditionally a certain color palette that you have to follow those rules. Think outside the box and go pink during the winter months or red during the summer months. Defy tradition!

1. Think Pink: Pink and lime are fresh and new. No reason to have a holiday that follows a norm. Be whimsical and fun. Surprise your guests!

2. French Blue: Natural cotton with light and navy blue accents create a chic yet french country vibe.

3. Rustic Aqua: Chose a fun fabric backdrop that has some depth and pattern. Mixing golden browns with aqua are upscale and current.

4. Preppy Stripe: A black or navy with white stripe creates a sophisticated yet fun table setting. Mix it with blush pink and shiny metals – that makes for an uber stylized result.

5. Earthy Fuscia: Mix natural linen with vibrant pinks and purples for an energetic yet earthy feel.

6. Linen Sunshine: A natural base with bright sunshine yellow creates a happy look. Add some beachy accents (especially during the winter) to remind guests that a fun attitude is at their finger tips.
