How to set the table for an elegant dinner or event

Based on the type of event, choose the crockery and glassware.
Properly select the color of the tablecloth, the accessories, and the flowers or candles that highlight your decoration.

The tablecloth should hang at least 50 cm and should always be ironed.

Place an arrangement with natural flowers in the center and candlesticks with candles. You can choose it classic or modern, but giving its place to each element so that the table looks neat and elegant.

Use cloth napkins, and preferably, to each napkin place a napkin. The napkins go to the left end of the forks, or they can go to the center of the plate. Between one person and another there must be at least a 60 cm space.

The first piece of cutlery, on the right side of the plate, should be the main dish knife. Put a teaspoon to the right of the knife. The soup spoon is larger than the teaspoon and is on the far right. Place all the forks to the left of the plate. The main dish fork is the largest and is placed to the left of the salad fork. The salad forks are on the far left.

Generally three glasses are placed: one large for red wine, one medium for water and one a little smaller for white wine. The glasses are placed upwards of the knives in order from left to right: glass of water, glass of white wine and glass of red wine. They can be placed forming a small angle, where the water cup is outward, that is, further away from the plate.

As complements: place a butter spreader along the single plate for bread and butter dish.
The dessert fork goes in the middle and above the main course and the dessert spoon goes over the dessert fork.

With this arrangement your table will surely surprise your guests.
