It's absolutely amazing how much you can
accomplish with a simple white plate. Think
about what you want the event to feel like and
then just layer in the accessories that speak
to you. Casual summertime brunch? A bright
placemat, a fun napkin folded to
showcase the pattern, and colorful flatware and
stemware. This has a totally different vibe than
the sleek black and white setting. And displaying
a beautiful napkin with a coordinating ring
and using two-tone flatware sets a completely
different tone. An entirely different statement
is made with the formal setting with an ornate
and coordinating salad plate—notice what the
presence and placement of the flatware says
about the many delicious courses to come. So,
start with what you have and get creative with
the rest!
