Eye-Pleasing Plates

If you love botanical-print plates, here's a neat trick for creating the look for outdoor dining. Place a large leaf between clear glass or plastic plates; give each guest at your table a different leaf just for fun. Layer various shapes of plates, such as a square salad plate on top of a round charger. Here, we topped plates with a clear ice-cream bowl filled with wheatgrass. You could also fill bowls with a small container of fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley. What a great take-home gift for guests!
