How to Make an Elegant Table Presentation?
Setting a table for special guests, official invitations and many other occasions that require elegance can be a very stressful task. However, designing your table preparation in advance will save you time and allow you to greet your guests with a smiling face rather than being nervous and stressed. Elegant tables are tables made up of a whole, not pieces of furniture. For this reason, every piece and every accessory on the table is of critical importance. Color, material and texture harmony will enable you to achieve integrity on your table. The keys to a stylish table are the correct placement of cutlery and plates, thoughtful details for each meal, the presence of all the necessary ingredients for a fast service in the dining area, and decorating the table with stylish accessories that will not be used. The first thing to do after matching each piece is to greet your guests with your gorgeous smile and begin your warm service to let them taste your delicious food. Every correctly placed plate, fork and glass will make your job during the presentation much easier than you think. How to Set a Stylish Table? We will share with you some tips for setting a stylish table and creating a perfect dining environment, from the first ingredient to the last flower to be placed. You can start by laying out a bright, cream-colored or white satin tablecloth that fits the size of your dining table and will not be too tight or too short. Your tablecloth should be plain, without a pattern, and should not tire the eyes. You can place embroidered runners on your tablecloth in the size and number you determine according to the number of people. If you are preparing a crowded table, a white, embroidered runner measuring 45 x 160 cm will be an accessory that will highlight the elegance of your table. After laying the runner, the first step is to place your plates correctly. You can arrange your plates so that there is a serving plate at the bottom, a hot plate on top, a main course plate if you want to use it, and a soup bowl at the top. You should not forget to place your garbage bowls directly opposite them and your bread plates to be placed diagonally across them. You can place your glasses and glasses, covered, to the right of your plates. Having your cutlery arranged correctly is one of the details that will make your table perfect. On the right side of the plates, starting from the outside, there should be a soup spoon, a dinner knife, and a steak knife, if included in your menu. On the left side of the plates, from outside to inside, there should be first a salad fork and then a dinner fork. Dessert forks and spoons can be placed between the garbage plate and dinner plates. If you wish, you can place your service napkins flat next to the forks or fold them elegantly inside your soup bowl. The next step after table placement is decorating your table. Flowers, vases, etc. that you want to place on your table. You can place the accessories symmetrically. A must for a stylish table is to have the serving area outside the table. For this reason, placing your salads on the console or on your serving table instead of placing them in the middle of the table will prevent a crowded and disorganized appearance on your table. Likewise, it will look more elegant if your drinks and serving utensils are not on the table.
What Accessories Can Be Included on Elegant Tables?
After completing the setting of your table, we recommend that you do not hesitate when it comes to decorating it. Cream-colored or white candles placed in silver-colored candlesticks are accessories that can be placed on your table in pairs. You can use pearls that will make your table look rich by randomly scattering them on the runner. Vibrant flowers in a silver or white vase, when chosen in appropriate colors, will add liveliness to this elegant table and convey the message that your guests will feel more comfortable. However, it is very important that the flowers and vases you choose are of a size that will not prevent the guests around the table from seeing each other.
