Get the look:
- The place setting. Make each setting unique by using two different combinations of vintage china, flatware, and glassware. Vintage-rental companies are a great resource to find a fun mix.
- The linens. For an unexpected pairing, use formal china with casual linens.
- The centerpiece. Upgrade simple blue glass Ball jars with lush bouquets of flowers and foliage.
- The place cards. Embellish simple office-store hang tags with individually stamped letters that spell out each guest's name.
