About this title

Synopsis

"Perfect Tables" showcases the artistry of acclaimed tabletop designer William Yeoward in setting a beautiful table. He begins with an essential section on Getting Started, so you have all the linen, china, and glass you need. Next, themed chapters from Celebrations to Informality showcase twenty-four stunning creations, covering occasions including Thanksgiving, a Summer Wedding, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, and informal settings such as a buffet supper, a girl's lunch, a child's birthday, or the perfect breakfast tray. Inspired by William's love of entertaining friends, "Perfect Tables" reveals the secrets behind his eye for detail and colour, and shows how you can find inspiration in a fabric or item you may already own. William's invaluable hints and tips include reassurance for the nervous hostess and even dealing with dining disasters! The book concludes with myriad ideas for tying napkins, arranging glasses, and laying cutlery.
