Easy and Affordable Table-Setting Ideas

Mixed Arrangements

To allow guests plenty of room to chat across the table, make sure your flower arrangements are not too grand. Here, a set of bud vases mixed with a larger vase creates varying heights of color.

Hostess tip: Instead of calling the florist for expensive arrangements, purchase multiple preassembled bouquets from the grocery store, cut open the bags, and mix up the flowers for a custom look.
