Splurge on table linens

One of the first things guests notice about a table is the placemat. Bold or simple, The Pink Daisy offers a variety of table linens. For the modern minimalist, there’s the Bodrum Bordino. If your style is more bohemian, try a patterned Karen Lee Ballard Alfresco placemat. Whatever vibe you’re going for, The Pink Daisy has you covered.

Invest in great china (dinnerware)

Designer Anna Weatherley has the BEST ideas when it comes to your dinnerware. She believes that your table should be a reflection of a garden – all beautiful colors and flowers mixed together. Shop from a variety of dinner plates, bread & butter plates, dessert plates, and much more. 

Bring the outdoors IN 

All tables need a beautiful centerpiece. At The Pink Daisy, we recommend getting a fantastic vase and a few fresh flowers. Remember- keep the arrangement low so that guests can see each other at all points of the table. Check out this beautiful Caskata Arcadia Bud Vase for some inspiration. 

Light some candles

If you’re looking for a nice, simple idea to amp up your table setting, incorporate candles. We offer a variety of candle holders to fit any theme. Candles are great mood setters, especially when the party happens after sunset. The L’Objet Alchimie Gold Hurricane Lantern is elegant and chic. 

Don’t forget the napkin holders

Napkin Holders are a nice simple touch to any table and are a necessity for all outdoor gatherings. You don’t want the napkins blowing away due to a gust of wind. Our napkin holders are both practical and attractive. Get your hands on the Mariposa Cocktail Napkin Box with Sunglasses Weight for a beach-themed bash. 

Shake it up

Add an extra little touch to your table with unique salt and pepper shakers. Your guests will be floored by the small details you paid attention to. The Kate Spade Fairmount Park Dot and Stripe set add a playful vibe to any table setting. 

Say, “Cheers!”

One of the most important features of your table is your drinkware. You want your guests to be excited when they drink from your breathtaking glasses. Just look at these Juliska Amalia wine glasses! Shop from teacups, mugs, wine glasses, or basic everyday cups on our website. 

Start with a salad bowl

Do you start most of your meals with a salad? Choose an eclectic salad bowl and allow your appetizer to make a statement on your table. If you like hand-made items, check out this gorgeous Calaisio Salad Bowl made by artisans in the South Pacific. 

Go nuts with a candy & nut dish

Keep your table enticing with a designer nut or candy dish. These will spice up your party and give guests a small snack while they’re waiting for dinner. The Vagabond House Large Squirrel Nut Bowl is a cheeky addition to any gathering.  

Find the perfect flatware

Last but not least is your flatware. You can’t have a meal without it! Though flatware is essential for every table setting, it doesn’t have to be boring. Consider using the Kim Seybert Helix Flatware. It’s a great addition to table settings that vary from the classic to the contemporary.
