Setting a beautiful table

We are frequently asked what the secret is to creating a beautifully dressed table, so here are some of our thoughts.

Make sure the setting is appropriate to the occasion; a formal dinner may need an elaborate table display but a simple, fun setting will be more than suitable for afternoon tea with a friend or a relative and will give a relaxing, intimate feel to the occasion.

Don’t be too concerned about making sure all the tableware and glassware match exactly; this can result in a dull table setting lacking in character. Have the confidence to mix styles, colours, textures and patterns and enjoy experimenting with different combinations, the results will be rewarding.

A beautiful Table Setting doesn’t need to be complicated; the key is in the detail. A folded white Napkin tied with a piece of ribbon or cord along with a single fresh flower can be more than enough to accompany your glassware, cutlery and side plate.

Remember that your table setting is simply a reflection of your vision and character so have fun creating it and your guests will surely follow.
