The Elements of a Tablescape

Tablescape is a term that blends the concepts of table setting and landscaping together where you are helping to create a mood and an atmosphere for your celebration.   Tablescaping allows you to use your creativity to make the gathering more special for your friends and family members.

Tablescape is a word that was first coined by Sandra Lee in the early 2000s according to Wikipedia.

First, find a theme or inspiration for your decorations.

It can be an:

object

color combination

theme or season

Next you need a base.

That can be a runner, placemats, or both

You'll need tableware.

Plates, cups/glasses, cutlery, napkins. Don't be afraid to use paper or plastic if the event calls for it.

Then create a centerpiece.

Using dough bowls is a favorite centerpiece for me!
