Valentine’s Table Settings

Setting your table for an evening of romance is quick and easy when you follow this tip. Start with a crisp white linen table cloth over the table, follow with a shimmery beaded table topper in gold or copper.

With the linen set, add the Water Garden, to the center of the table. Set the table for two, use a layering effect with the plates. I like to use white china trimmed with gold, if using the gold beaded linen. Place the plates on gold glass beaded placemats. Wrap your white linen napkins with beaded napkin holders in the same color as your beaded table topper. Add elegance and sparkle to your crystal wine glasses with wine charms. For added sparkle, slip a beaded table runner (in the coordinating color of the beaded table topper ) over each chair, safety pin it in place and add a huge hand tied bow to finish it off. Your table setting will shimmer like a million diamonds basking in the soft light of your Water Garden of Love.
