Not only are floral arrangements and candles exclusive to dressing up a table setting. There are other items that add interest and beauty. It can be a grouping of watering cans, lanterns, teapots, figurines, etc.
For example, this Asian themed formal dinner setting was the perfect opportunity to display three ancient Chinese urns I purchased in Hong Kong. Not only would they add glamour to the setting, but they would also become a conversation piece.
To compliment the earthy tones and rustic style of the urns, I added a greenish geometric table cloth which I had purchased from Crate & Barrel years ago. The woven chargers add texture and the silverware, which I inherited from my Mom, matched the antiquity feel.
You don’t have to go to Hong Kong to look for wonderful collectibles. It can be any grouping of interesting items that you are passionate about and low enough to not obstruct the view of the guests across from each other. Larger items can be placed on the sideboard or buffet tables.
Love this:)
