SILVER & WHITE
Silver and white is a classic combination that works in contemporary or traditional settings.
“It's
such fun to push the boat out when you're decorating the table and give
it some glitter, sparkle and pzazz, which puts people in the mood for
fun,” says Clare Harris, founder of Talking Tables, specialists in party
and table accessories.

“Silver and white's a glamorous, sophisticated choice, and can be created easily with a white cloth and napkins, sparkly table gems, miniature silver crackers, and a table feature such as a collection of silver baubles in a clear glass bowl, or a group of silver candlesticks.”
TIP Serve individual desserts and pop a mini sparkler in each before bringing to the table as a fun final touch, Harris suggests. And make place cards using a silver glitter pen and white card.
