If you want to create a classical but stunning table to welcome your guests, then this is will certainly create a wow factor!

Start off with some white/cream/neutral coloured material or voile ruched up along the centre of the table from end to end then add plenty of similarly coloured candles and any vases or jugs etc that are of the same colour, sitting them on top of the runner.

Place your chosen plates around the table with or without mats and lay a menu card and/or a name card onto each plate.

Use neutral colour napkins and fold into a beautiful bow to lay on one side of each plate, then add the cutlery and any trivets/mats for table protection to one side of the centre runner before finalising the setting with stem glasses by each place.

Now, sit down with the guests and of course the food and enjoy the company.
