The stage is set for a special event.
Crystal, silver and chic smoky shades exude
luxury. Layer quality linens with fine china
and consider adding a personal touch such
as a folded linen napkin pocket housing a
place name or menu, thereby recreating
that f ive-star, f ine-dining experience in your
own home. Create a floral centrepiece from
posies and invite your guests to take one
home at the end of the evening (ight).
Think about using vessels other than vases
- an old trophy or ornamental urn give
a decadent
36
twist to the display.
