Garden and Glass Tablescape

The Perfect Summer Scene

Anchored by a silk plaid runner in a popular color combination, the tablescape is perfect for weddings, showers, and other dressy events of the season.

1. Cover your table with a white tablecloth.
2. Arrange the runner on the table, or create your own runner by folding and pressing fabric into a runner; lay the runner down the center of the table.
   
3. Fill all of the vases one-fourth of the way with water. Float large flowers in the large vase, and float the smaller blossoms in the smaller vases.
   
4. Tie pink ribbons around the necks of the candle holders; fit the tapered candles in the candle holders.
   
5. Set the table with the stemware, china, and napkins.
