Elegant Table SettingsVisual Examples & IdeasHaving an elegant dinner party, or hosting a tea party? Here are some visual ideas of elegant table settings. I collect my ideas in pictures and visuals. I take a pocket digital camera with me wherever I go and snap every little thing that could be stored as an idea for later use. Sometimes I come across a very cute figurine that can be used as a centerpiece, or I might be inspired by the intertwined leaves on an iron gate, or by some decorative hanging lanterns at a restaurant that I dine at. I surf online for ideas, browse through friend's photo albums or photographer's portfolios too. So I encourage you to build your own collection, meanwhile, feel free to have a look at mine!
Elegant Table Settings Idea: Indoor gardenI love how the crockery is in shades of green and brown to match the indoor plants setting. Even the chairs are of green and brown. The table cloth has an elegant motif on it and blends well with the theme colours. Little red plates act as accents.

I especially love the "hanging over your head" pots, which makes it feel like you are really in forest or something. What a wonderful dining experience that is easy to create (and easy on the pocket!)
Elegant Table Settings Idea: Yellow & Black - Very chic The very elegant use of black as a background colour.

The silver seems shinier, the yellow happier, and the ice cubes start to resemble diamonds.

Elegant Table Setting for a Bridal ShowerTime to bring out the pinks!  Photo credit: Tracy Huner I love the jars of lemons. Basically I love a wide variety of drinks and how beautifully it is being presented. Glasses of water, water goblets with orange juice, perhaps a jar of coca cola, a jar of ice water, a water jug of punch, and maybe coffee and tea and champagne is lurking somewhere.
