Different Table Settings for Different Yearly Events

Feeling drained out that everyday you do the same things, no exciting people to meet, no new things to discover and living a fairly black and white life. You really don’t need a new set of routine or even a new job, what you need is something to look forward to, something that will temporarily stop the same old life that you have and give you a break. The perfect solution for this is your yearly events. We may have forgotten these events but they are all scattered in our calendar, making them a perfect break for us.

Don’t be afraid to participate and show them your creative side. Go and organize little get together and parties, cook, decorate or help in organizing the event. One of the most important aspects of celebrations is how we present the foods in the table. Table setting can be fun and exciting, that is why here are some helpful tips on how we can decorate our table on different yearly occasions.

Seasonal décor ideas don’t need to be extravagant. Don’t over do your designs. Sure you can be little excited and happy with all the available ornaments but overdoing it won’t look beautiful, it will look congested.

• Decorating your dinner table must come from your heart, especially if this is for a Valentine day table setting where you will want the best romantic setting for your special someone.

• For Valentines, you can use a red table cloth that will accentuate passion and love. Roses too are a great addition to your table as a centerpiece or a design in your napkin folding.
• You can scatter rose petals on the floor so that when she walks in inside, with the light dimmed, she will immediately feel like she is under that romantic movie.

• Table centerpiece for Mardi Gras should be colorful and lively. In here, you don’t need to hold back especially with color and ornaments. This is a happy, wild and festive gathering that will surely make everyone excited and alive.

• Halloween table settings should be simple though, even if this is one of the most sought after events in the calendar. Sure we can find so many decorations in the market making it hard to stop the temptation of buying them but always remember that simplicity is still the best.

• You can use orange, black and white cloths to decorate your house for Halloween. For chairs, you can cover it with an orange cloth and tie a black ribbon on the back. For the table, cover it with a white cloth and then add a small vertical orange cloth and back lining on the sides.

• For your Halloween treats, you can make cupcakes with orange and black colors. You can learn different design techniques so you can add spiders and bats frosting.

Table settings don’t need a lot of work and you don’t even need to be stressed out. Decorating your dinner table for an event can be something for you to look forward to, to enjoy doing not the other way around. We are looking for something that will give us a break from our routine.
