Pi c t u re Pe rf e c t PLACE SETTINGS
Use Courtney’s 3 tips to create a masterpiece with your place settings.
- ADD LAYERS. “I usually layer two to
three dinnerware plates—dinner size,
salad size and sometimes an appetizer
plate—depending on the menus,”
Courtney says. “One of my favorite tips
is investing in a gorgeous set of white
dinnerware because it will fit with any
theme or occasion.” Courtney’s tableware
is rimmed in gold, a touch of elegance
perfect year-round.
2. PICK A PALETTE. If your
pastels revolve around warmer
shades, make sure your napkins
complete the look in a similar hue.
Courtney chose coral napkins for
her table settings.
3. FIND A FUN FAVOR. You can
personalize your place settings
into fantastic keepsakes. Courtney
added a touch of whimsy and personal
flare by folding the napkins and tucking
a framed picture inside, along with
dainty bouquets. These details make a
party unforgettable.

Courtney opted for a white tablecloth to keep attention
fixed on the flowery glory at the table’s center.
