Friends over for dinner, perhaps a backyard dinner .Here is a lovely table styling idea in black and white.
Fabric for the table runner is available from Ikea. The table runner is made of a plastic fabric, so it does not matter what is spilt on it as it wipes off easily. The Fabric was $11 a metre. I purchased 2 metres of fabric ,which is enough for 3 table runners. These runners can be used at a later date and run along each side of a table as place mats. I will show you this styling idea at a later date. There is no waste. The place mats were made from black and white tea towels. I purchased the tea towels from Wheel and Barrow in Armadale and they cost $4.95 each and one tea towel makes 2 place mats( $15 roughly for 6 place mats). I simply cut them and hemmed them.
The roses are sitting in old jam jars, that I recycle as they make fantastic vases. The roses were 2 bunches for $10 ( I used 4 bunches so total cost $20).
The napkins cost $2 for 24 from the $2 shop in Ashburton.
Total cost for table setting was $59 and remember everything can be used again except for the paper napkins and roses.
Remember the comfort of your guests is always important, so I place a cushion for the guest at the back of their seat, as sitting for long periods can make you uncomfortable.
Mood is also, very important so don't forget the candles, they provide both light and atmosphere.
Now pray for good weather and enjoy your evening.
