Day 14

 

This might be a bit over the top for homemade tomato soup, followed by store bought pies with mash and veg. and then if we still have room, I'll make pancakes with oranges and Grand Marnier.

We all know what we use a napkin for — to clean up any food residue on our faces or to prevent a spill/accident from landing on our nice white clothes. It's a very utilitarian product, but it also serves a bigger purpose in the grand scheme of things for a wedding reception or any type of party event. Literally, it can make your tablescape "pop" in terms of color + making a visual statement for your reception decor.

 

Pick a color linen napkin that accents your reception table design. And remember, you can be creative with the napkin fold whether cinching it down in the middle to make a bow or tucking the dinner menu inside it.

 

If you're on a budget and you do have to pick + choose on where to invest your money wisely for wedding decor, I say opt for the clean, crisp white table cover linen that is budget friendly and splurge a little on a color or even a patterned designed napkin that embraces the mood + style of your wedding.

Setting the table for Easter dinner

(catering by lola mora)

Mr. & Mrs. Snowman along with an acrylic tree make a frosty centerpiece.

Visit to the renowned Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan on February 23, 2015.

 

This table setting display is in one of the side hallways off the museum's main corridor. I think it is advertising the sort of table setting a group would have for a banquet in the museum's second floor banquet room.

Cooking dinner for the gorgeous MIML, celebrating 2 years since our first date :-)

Unfortunately it was raining when I was taking the pictures so my table setting doesn't look as cheery in the photos as it actually does when laid out. I had lots of fun mixing and matching the colours and could have gone on endlessly but I guess 12 is enough!
