Tips for Lunch Table Setting

1. You can either work with all whites or opt for a monochromatic look. If you do decide to work with monochromes then make sure you have an ensemble of different prints to aid you
   
   
2. You can take the offbeat route of using wooden crockery
   
   
3. Break the mattes with a hint of metal, in this case copper
   
   
4. Make sure the food you serve is colourful to offset the monotone furnishings

Tips for Dinner Table Setting

1. First and foremost decide on your palette. A emerald green with gold is a winning combination for an understated yet elegant setting
   
   
2. Ditch the regular cloth runner for an innovative one. You can use one made of faux grass. Should you use a real grass runner, then make sure it is insulated at the bottom
   
   
3. Place clusters of votives interspersed with lanterns on the runner
   
   
4. Throw in ferns, leaves or vines to create continuity between the runner, votives and lanterns
   
   
5. Layer your plates to create a formal look
