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.



  1. 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.

says Courtney, who adds a range of flavors and colors to
the simple yet stylish snack.

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