The Southern Table: Use Beautiful Basics
In celebration of our new tabletop collection with Ballard Designs, Senior Photo Stylist Buffy Hargett sets a simple summer table

Employ a mix-and-match philosophy, combining plates and glasses of different hues and sizes in one place setting. Try a colorful
charger in lieu of a place mat, and use a vintage cocktail fork to hold a handwritten place card.
