Happy Easter!
Here is some LJ Design co. inspiration to get you excited for your family gathering for Easter and into the spring!
Come Dine with Me:
The Place Setting
Start with a charger:
The base to each setting is a charger or placemat. This is a chance to add texture and colour and really warm up the setting.
Don't be afraid to mix it up:
Mix and match your dishware! Matching sets always look nice but it can be more interesting to switch it up and mix and match your pieces. Our salad dish has a unique pattern to add another layer of texture to the design. Another way to mix it up is with colour. You can pair a plain white plate with a coloured desert/side dish for a pop of colour.
The Utensils:
Another chance to make a statement is with your utensils. These black utensils add the perfect amount of contrast.
The Napkin:
Our simple linen patterned napkin is a nice textural backdrop to the setting. There are many ways to fold your napkin. We chose to place it under the utensils.
The Glassware:
When it comes to glassware, it's best to have as many glasses as you will different types of drinks. For example we have a water glass and a wine glass in our place setting, but you could always add a champagne glass if it suits you.
The Garnish:
Last but certainly not least, garnish it all with your choice of greenery to complete the design!
There you have a gorgeous setting to place for all your special guests!
Front and Center:
The Centerpiece
Want to up your table setting game and leave an impression on your guests? Add a centerpiece! The Center piece truly completes the entire table scape.
The Runner:
A runner is a definite must have! It is placed down the center on the table anchors the pieces you will place on top, pulling everything together.
The Tray:
As an added layer of interest, a tray is a great idea, it acts as a landing spot for the rest of your items.
Styling the Tray:
When placing pieces on the tray, layering heights will create balance. Clusters of odd numbers look best. 3, 5, 7. We recommend using 3 items for your centerpiece as to not over crowed the table. Varying materials and textures allow you to have a well-rounded design. You don't want everything to blend, each piece can compliment the next without getting too matchy.
The Florals:
Add your favourite spring florals or greenery for in the pitcher or vase that you've placed on your tray, If you have a green thumb, you could even use real flowers cut from the garden for an added personal touch! For a fresh, spring look, use pastels and light neutrals.
Now, step back and enjoy your completed table scape with your guests!
Cheers!
