How to Set a Spring Table
A spring table captures the fresh bold colors and new beginnings that this season represents. Spring is a time for celebration because of the abundance of color seen in nature. Everything is new, and your table should reflect the essence of spring. Decorate a spring eating area with place settings and colors that remind you of spring. White porcelain plates work well as long as you use colorful tablecloths, napkins and centerpieces. Feature only fresh-cut flowers, rather than silk or plastic flower arrangements. Does this Spark an idea?
