Setting a beautiful table is an enjoyable experience. Guests appreciate your style, thoughtfulness and  efforts. At Class Act Image Consulting we help clients decorate every year for the holidays and putting together an elegant table setting is a popular service and is sure to impress your guests. If you are doing it yourself, here is some advice. Several weeks before your holiday pull out your dishes, glasses and silverware. Make sure you have enough and inspect them for damage, clean and polish everything as needed or invest in new items. It is ok to mix and match dishes, but try to unify everything with a single color. For example, use placemats, charger plates or napkins of the same color. Always use fresh clean napkins and tablecloths. Iron the tablecloth on the table to rid of wrinkles. Don't be affraid to invest in new linens because  they will look fresh and clean. Next, think about your centerpiece. Light and low is always best. Don't be affraid to bring in fresh greens from the outside instead of flowers. I like to add balls and ceramic pieces which add interest without clutter. Try a few battery opperated candles of various sizes and shapes. They will give your table a nice glow without all the worry. Keep it simple, fresh and elegant.
