It’s time for the big luncheon for this month and Spring is the theme! Every detail will reflect the season with color, vibrancy, and light. When thoughts move toward planning such an occasion, it is best to find one thing as your inspiration and flow from there. (That keeps you from chasing too many rabbits.) My inspiration was a pair of french birdcages. ( A new spring addition from The Roundtop Collection- www.thertc.com) They are to be used at the head table with the other tables reflecting the same color-Citron. There is no hard and fast rule that says every table must look exactly the same. In my opinion, variety adds an extra layer to the depth of the final look. Usually in the planning process, two different, yet complimentary table linens are chosen. This can be done for any size group, but is especially true for larger groups. (six or more tables) One can be a higher end fabric that makes your statement, and the additional can be a more moderately priced compliment. Psst, no one will ever know!
Also, an easy way to add color to your table is by using paper placemats. They add a lot of pomp and circumstance without the price tag. A package of 50 are less than two dollars. Mingle them in with fabric napkins and table linens and they can be that extra attention to detail that adds to the final touch of elegance. They can be found online, just google paper placemats and an array of choices will pop up. In the Houston area, Arne’s Warehouse off of I-10 and Studemont are a great resource for paper products.
