I recently bought a set of charcoal dinner plates, I just love how the dark colour shows off the food. These ones were $37 for a set of 12 pieces at Freedom a few weeks ago.
I already had the plain black table cloth and gold chargers. I use these chargers all the time, a really good investment many years ago.
I treated myself to new black linen napkins, only $2.50 each at a $2 store which is also where I found the tablecloth. My only other purchase was a bunch of pink alstroemeria, any soft pink flower would work just as well.
To set up I picked some succulent stems from the garden and arranged them with a few of the pink flowers in used black glass candle holders.
Then it's as easy as laying out the gold chargers with a black plate on each one. Fold each napkin into a neat rectangle and place one on each plate. Arrange cutlery on top of the napkin. To easy.
