Table accents

Natural touch Light wood accents in the form of the cake stand, chairs and charger plates keep a pastel table from becoming overly sweet.

Layered look Reimagine the usual napkin-on-top place setting by tucking a jazzy linen between solid-color plates. Result: A graphic frame for a single, swooping radish.

Reinvent a tired veggie tray by serving long crudites and crisp breadsticks in glasses. For extra appeal, wrap a couple in frilly cabbage or kale leaves and tie with twine.

Casual arrangement

Keep flowers loose by playing with odd couples: Large and small bouquets to bookend the table, or blowsy peonies paired with spare, budding branches.

Good eggs

Rinsed eggshells work as tiny bud vases or planters for mini succulents and ferns. Place in egg cups or group in an egg carton.
