The Final Touches

And now we are ready to sit back and enjoy our gala! Adding the hot pink of the cutlery and flatware adds just the right amount of color to give the table that spark that it needed to come alive. The red of the beads on the center candleholder and the green of the leaf motif are short bursts of energy created by our choice of color. It is quite a bit of fun to create a "stage" for your dinners when you let yourself be guided by what you have at hand. It is not only the things that we have, but how we use them that makes our tables come alive and add to the fun of the event.
