Party Inspiration: Striking Table Settings
What better day than today to talk about table settings? If you are a host or hostess in a frenzy getting ready for tonight, don't worry, you can keep it simple with things like vases, tablecloths, fruit, bowls, runners, tableclothes, branches, et. al. from around the house.
While we typically think of sit-down dinner set ups when we talk about table settings, there are plenty of other ways to use tabletops for fun displays. It's also nice to keep a nice tablescape or floral arrangement out when you are not expecting any company. Let's have a look at some shining examples from different people in the Houzz:

This is the most fun and festive setting I've seen since Dining by Design. Love the lights, the twigs, and the use of white.
This setting lets the printed tablecloth be the star. I love the contrast of the solid dark plates.
Here small lamps and a vase collection make for a beautiful center arrangement.
I love the cozy, casual elegance of this table.
Pineapples, a large shell, and candlesticks draw the eye into this dining room even when it's not in use.
I love this farmhouse-y kitchen. Crystal bowls full of apples a candelabra and chandelier are a fun contrast with the more rustic farm table.
A great modern setting for New Years Day breakfast.
I love the way the lettered cottage keeps everything to a simple and beautiful color palette.
Ditto.
A row of tall milk bottles with a single stem in each are a wonderful and inexpensive way to adorn your table.
Don't neglect your kitchen bar. Everyone will wind up gathering here anyway!
