Set the Scene
Setting a guest-impressing table is easier than you may think — you just need to think like a designer and make a plan. Start with the palette: pick 3 main colors and carry those through the table's linens, centerpieces and dishware. Consider form and function and only fill the table with items that carry your theme or are necessary — e.g. set out just the utensils your guests will need not rows of silverware they won't touch. Finally, add a bit of glam: gold utensils and gilded votives make it shine.
