Try include stunning napkins. Printed, natural linens, or textured, this always elevates the look of any table when styling.<br \/>\n2. Stunning, elegant, clear, coloured or embossed glassware is always good to have. Green is my go-to favourite at the moment.<br \/>\n3. Accessorize with flowers and candles. Different colours and shapes of candles are great grouped together to create focal points. Add a few stems of gorgeous flowers, aloes, bunny tails etc.<br \/>\n4. Remember this basic rule of tablescaping: layer with textures and colour.<br \/>\n5. Try to have a theme or colour palette or find some type of inspiration to work from \u2013 this always helps create a gorgeous end result.
