We start with porcelain. On the table there should be a shallow plate, a salad plate, a bowl.
Use a coaster plate. It is large enough and perfectly frames the dishes, outlining its borders. You can use a special rug, which, if desired, can be made with your own hands from decorative paper. Simple wreaths and even leaves will do.

Table runner – a tablecloth in the form of a narrow strip running across the entire table. This is one of the most modern ways to decorate a table, especially if you do not want to hide a beautiful wooden or glass table top completely under the fabric. Such tracks are universal. They can be safely laid out on top of a regular tablecloth along the table, you can put them across and designate places for guests.
Tablecloths must be on the festive table, especially if you want to emphasize the theme or color scheme of the set table.

Napkins. There is no need to give up tissue napkins in favor of disposable ones. They are an integral part of the table design. If you really don’t want to do their laundry after the holiday, then you should take a closer look at the banquet-style paper ones..
The cutlery tray determines the place for each guest. They can be not only rectangular, but also square (give a modern look), and round (break the angularity of the table).
3. Central composition

On the festive table, there must certainly be a central composition that will decorate it. It will add volume and unite the entire table, but you need to remember that it should be low and narrow..
The main rule is that at least 35 cm should remain for a person and his cutlery on each side.Therefore, we subtract at least 70 cm from the width of the table, all the rest of the space can be used for composition. For the tabletop composition, we use flowers, candlesticks, twigs, pebbles.
4. Decor

Candles are an easy way to decorate a table and should be given special attention. They will fill the room with warm light and highlight the beauty of illuminated objects. It is best to choose non-scented candles so that their aroma does not mix with the smell of the cooked dishes. Instead of real candles, you can use battery-powered models or even garlands.
