Don\u2019t know where to start? Don\u2019t panic, as Meadows &amp; Byrne are here to help. We will reveal all you need to know about setting the perfect table and show you everything you need to do so. When it comes to setting the table think of it as a work of art. Imagine blooming fresh flowers, shining ware, beautiful cloth napkins and glimmering glasses. You don\u2019t have to be too formal in your setting, have some fun with it. Why not try a few trendy tricks like serving drinks in jars, bundling cutlery in ribbons or adding fairy lights to the centrepiece. This is guaranteed to wow your guests and start conversations around the table.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Serveware<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The serveware used at a dinner party should complement the food being served. Some table settings use plain ware, which emphasises the d\u00e9cor on the table. Other tables use colourful ware that mirrors the dining table aesthetic. It depends on your own personality and preference, there is no right or wrong. If you like plain ware you will love our Nina dinnerware collection. If you\u2019re more drawn to colours and patterns you will adore our Ethnic plate collection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/nina-fruit-bowl-set-of-4\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2075 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog.jpg\" alt=\"nina-dinner-wear-blog\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nina-dinner-wear-blog-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><em>Nina Dinnerware Collection from \u20ac19.80<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/ethnic-charger-plate-set-of-6\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2081 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate.jpg\" alt=\"ethnic-plate\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ethnic-plate-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><em>Ethnic Plate Collection from \u20ac47.70<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Glasses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There must be one glass for each drink for you\u2019re guests at a dinner party; A water glass, a white wine glass, a red wine glass, a champagne flute and an all purpose glass.

Tablecloths are more formal, they serve well for special occasions like christenings, retirements, Christmas etc, and runners are more casual.\u00a0 If you\u2019re having a dinner party for a birthday or if you\u2019re just inviting a few friends around a runner is a good option. Our Madrass stripe runner is perfect for this. Napkins are\u00a0also a key feature on any table setting. Again, you can go plain or colourful with these depending on your theme. We love our new Citrus pop napkins, ideal for adding a splash of colour to the table.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/madrass-stripe-runner-sky\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2083 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098.jpg\" alt=\"mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mb-meadows-and-byrne-march-2017-098-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><em>Madrass Stripe Runner Sky \u20ac19.95<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/citrus-pop-napkin-grapefruit-set-of-4\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2084 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin.jpg\" alt=\"citrus-napkin\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/citrus-napkin-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><em>Citrus Pop Napkin \u2013 Grapefruit, Set of 4 \u20ac14.95<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The D\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along with all the serveware that you have on the dining table you will also have a centrepiece and other decorative bits to make it look extraordinary.\u00a0 Think about all the classics; candles, flowers, lights, vases, and jars, but try using some alternative d\u00e9cor as well like fruit, shells or wild foliage.
