Preparatory work

Choosing the option of serving a festive table, take into account the theme of the celebration, as well as the features of your interior, because you have to create a stylish and spectacular picture. Initially, prepare the appropriate dishes. A win-win option is white plates. Do not forget to wash and dry all the dishes before placing them on the table: cutlery, plates, glasses and glasses, appliances. During storage, dust may accumulate on them, which must be removed.

An elegant tablecloth will also help to emphasize the festive atmosphere. Plain canvases made of satin or taffeta are ideal for formal events. Choose the size so that about 20-30 cm of fabric hangs around the edges of the table. Now you should prepare napkins. You can just put them under the plates, or you can create an original composition. There are a lot of ways to fold napkins. They can be rolled up in the shape of a cone and put on a plate, make a fan, securing it with a fork, twist and mark into a glass. There is no time to exercise, napkin rings will come to the rescue.

Arrangement of accessories

There is a certain order of placement of dishes: first, the middle of the table is filled, and then individual devices are placed. Wine coolers, skewers for canapes, vases for fruits and sweets, salad bowls, decorative accessories (bouquets of flowers, candles, candelabra, etc.) are placed in the center. Individual plates, glasses, glasses are placed around the perimeter of the table at a distance of about 50 cm from each other. Such a seat will be quite enough for your guest to feel comfortable and be able to take part in a conversation at the table with a neighbor.

Snacks and cold dishes are served first for the festive feast. Hot can consist of both the first and second, or only the second. The first option is more acceptable for a lunch reception. Each dish has its own special dishes. Soups can be served in broth bowls, deep table plates, clay pots with wooden spoons. Special snack plates are intended for second courses, as well as large round dishes. Vases on low legs and multi-tiered stands can be used for fruit, canapes, slicing and other portion food. For pickled vegetables and olives, serving dishes for several small trays are suitable. Special dishes are used for caviar (caviar bowl) and sauces (saucers). In the middle of the table on a special stand, you can place containers with vinegar, vegetable oil, as well as devices for salt, pepper and other spices.

If you want to surprise your guests with an incredibly delicious and fragrant wine, serve it in a decoder. The main thing is to choose the right kind of dishes for a specific drink: red or white wine, aged or young. Do not forget to also use the right glasses and glasses for each type of alcohol. Baskets with bread and fruit dishes are better placed on both sides of the table.

Serving tables will become real helpers in serving dishes on the festive table, as well as cleaning dirty dishes. Most models are equipped with wheels, have several tiers, allowing you to arrange a large number of dishes. Despite the insignificant weight and rather fragile appearance, the structure is able to withstand quite impressive loads. Wheels of high-quality models are made of special soft plastic that does not harm the floor covering, whether it is laminate, parquet, linoleum, carpet. If desired, you can find products equipped with holders for glasses and glasses, as well as trays. Such tables will become indispensable for those who like to pamper their soulmate with breakfast in bed.

If a large-scale reception is planned, then a small buffet can be arranged before the main serving of dishes. Place light snacks on a separate table, put coolers with wine. If you wish, you can surprise your guests with a delicious punch. It is served in a special large bowl with a special ladle. For this table, it is better to use exactly the same dishes and tablecloth as for the main table. This will allow you to create a holistic harmonious picture.

It remains only to use your imagination and start creating an exclusive author\'s serving that will point out to all guests what a wonderful hostess you are with a subtle aesthetic taste.
