Pick a Color, Any Color
For a table that makes a statement, set it with a single color. We chose cream-colored linens and candles and white calla lilies. Rect-angles cut from heavy-stock paper and placed under the plates add flourish. You could also deck out your spread using shades of red, green, or purple.

No-Fuss Napkin Trick
This easy design is one of our favorites: Lay a napkin on a flat surface, and fold it back and forth in an accordion pattern until the entire napkin is one strip. Start at one end, and roll up the fabric halfway down the length of the strip. Place it on a plate so the pleats fan out around the swirl.

Simple Centerpieces
Generally speaking, the larger the flower bloom, the less of them you need to make a great arrangement. We placed a few calla lilies in a tall glass vase and called it a day. Another hint: Stagger the height of your displays. If you use tall flowers, use shorter candles and vice versa.
