When it comes to setting your table for a special occasion or holiday celebration, it’s the little touches that you do with your tablescape that really make it stand out.
Little touches like incorporating your dinner napkins into your tablescape in an unexpected and unique way….
I love the idea of placing the dinner napkins on the backs of the chairs. Monogrammed or embroidered dinner napkins are perfect for this and will add an element of style to the tablescape.
A colorful dinner napkin is all it takes to make a table come to life. When using clear plates, a dinner napkin place under the plates will provide the perfect visual impact.
I love the triangular tail of this dinner napkin over the plate. The point breaks provides contrast to all the circular elements on the table.
A bow tie fold is such a fun look for a ladies lunch, bridal shower or elegant dinner party. You can accent the center of the napkin with just about anything depending on your party theme.
Let your napkins do double duty by creating a pocket in the fold and tucking the menu card inside. A simple iron on number transfer serves as the place marker.
This is one of my favorite looks and is the perfect accent to square dinner plates. Layering is the key to a dynamic table and the napkin enhances it all.
And if you’re into napkin folding, how about a whimsical touch for a spring brunch or easter dinner!
I’m in the midst of pulling together my fall tablescape and I’m inspired to try something new with my dinner napkins. Stay tuned for the results!

Hi there! Stopping in from the Sharefest. These are definitely some fun ideas. I always seem to use contrasting napkins trailing from under the plates (so fast, easy and pretty!), but I LOVE the napkins wrapped around the square plates.

As always you’ve provided me with a dose of inspiration. I love, love, love the square plates with napkins in between. I agree that layering adds an entirely new, dynamic element to a table.
