Centerpieces

The centerpiece: the essential accessory for a successful decoration of the dinner table

When we receive guests for the meal, we want them to have a good time! We take care of them: we prepare a delicious meal using our best cooking skills. And of course, we bring out our finest dishes for the occasion, and strive to set the prettiest table there is.

Decorating a table with taste and elegance is not that difficult, as long as you devote a little time to it. You will find on the web many ideas and advice to successfully compose a beautiful table decoration! The main thing is to focus on a theme ( "seaside chic" , exotic, or country atmosphere for example), then to limit yourself to 2 or 3 well-matched colors.

In addition to the crockery, you must have some decorative objects to brighten up the appearance of the table: some illuminated candlesticks or tealight holders , a pretty bouquet of flowers in its vase, some trinkets and statuettes , and also why not, some picked finds here and there in nature (dead wood or driftwood, shells, pebbles ...).

And now, the centerpiece of your table decoration!

Have you found the theme and most of the decorative elements you will need to dress your table? Perfect !

Very often, when the table is decorated, we notice that its center seems lacking. This is normal, because it is the only part on which no dishes or cutlery are placed. Sometimes, we simply provide a table set or trivet to accommodate the meal that is coming soon. But visually, it is not very elegant ... The solution is the centerpiece .

There are many models of centerpieces in glass, wood, or ceramic in particular. They can take various shapes and look like a vase, a cup or even a tray. Practical and decorative, the centerpiece can accommodate decoration (in this case it is removed from the table when the meal is served), or sometimes part of the meal (appetizers for the aperitif for example).

What is very appreciable, with centerpieces, is that they are a real source of inspiration to create successful table decorations for every occasion to receive friends or family. And then, the rest of the time, they decorate the house!
