Table decor

Our modern and smart, stylish take on table décor for this theme, is based on black/brown and white, with drama, texture and colour added to remind that this is still an African setting, chic as it is.

Option One

Tables are draped with white flocked cloths, over which a broad amber runner is placed.  Over this runner, a second, narrower runner of brown/black, flocked taffeta is arranged, thus allowing the bottom runner to show on the sides, and through the thinner parts of the flocked fabric upper runner.  This adds the colours of Africa to a chic setting.

Silver under plates accommodate white serviettes, detailed with brown/black organza fabric and silver serviette rings with brown bead finishes. 

The centre piece consists of a base of informal peach roses and the odd protea, with beige/amber candles, depicting more of Africa's nature and its colours.

Chairs are covered in white, with the chair backs dressed with broad brown/black sashes, over which narrower amber organza sashes are added, picking up on the dual table runners, and enhancing the chic African mood.

As an alternative, a lower black runner, topped by one in amber, also creates a wonderful effect.  White serviettes can be detailed with peach organza fabric, enhancing the colour of the flowers in the centre piece, for which any peach coloured flowers that are in-season, can be used.  Chairs are covered in black instead of white, and have chair backs finished with broad amber sashes, overlaid with narrower black sashes.

A further variation on this colour combination, is having a brown/black runner, topped with a narrower red flocked taffeta runner, on the white table cloth.  This adds a dramatic flash of colour.  Black/brown under plates carry white serviettes, detailed with organza ribbon, and placed in wooden serviette rings.

This table's centre piece is a square round mirror, standing on medium height, gel filled, square vases.  Upon the mirror, a slim glass vase holding minimalist foliage, is surrounded by T-light candles in glass holders, and similar small candles are arranged below the mirror.

Chairs also remain covered in white, and have brown/black long sashes, detailed with wooden rings, over the chair backs, picking up on the wooden serviette rings, yet giving an immensely chic look.
