One of the most elegant designs for your tabletop is the simple, all-white table. We created a formal tabletop that will impress your guests with white plates, white linens, simple flatware and clear stemware. You probably have many of the necessary elements to create this clean and modern look already at home.
We began with a white tablecloth and set a white dinner plate, glass salad plate and a small white bowl at each setting with a single Spider Lily blossom. Our flatware was simple stainless steel, but we set a formal table with two forks, spoon, knife and dessert spoon. Our glassware was also simple, but formally set with a water goblet, white wine and champagne flute. We printed individually monogrammed dinner menus on clear vellum and placed them at each setting to serve as both a menu and a place card for our guests.
To decorate our table we took three white dendrobium orchid plants in pots and painted the standard green pots white. Then we wrapped the pots in Spanish moss and placed white rocks over the dirt to create texture and interest to our all-white table. This centerpiece idea is not only easy, but also eco-friendly, as your orchid plant will live long after your dinner party. We mixed clear, glass candle votives with beautiful cut-crystal votives for additional dimension and soft dinner lighting.
For our favors we treated each guest to a pretty white box of Godiva chocolates decorated with a silver ribbon and charm.

I'm so glad to be a guest blogger here and for my first post, wanted to share a very cool idea I recently came across.
