I love dinner parties with a group of friends! Preparing the meal and setting the table is a lot of fun. When having guests over it is not enough to just set the table, I love to design a tablescape. There are so many different ways to create a unique presentation. 

Flowers are a great accent to any table and can add a touch of color. Be sure to purchase an appropriately sized bouquet to fit the table. The flowers should never overwhelm the table by leaving little space for dishes. Candles set the mood and add a pleasant scent.

I like to set a semi-formal place setting with a table linen, cloth napkins, full set of dinnerware, and two sets of glasses. Even if the dinner is informal, I love the presentation of a complete place setting. Take your time and have fun with your own tablescape design!
