5 Place Settings to Inspire Your Shavuos Table

We all need a starting point.

We look forward to table inspiration as much as you do. So, when Devorah Rubin told us she was going to give us four unique looks for our photoshoot, we were very excited to see what she had in mind. One of these will be your starting point for a table that’s fresh and different.

Look 1
Mixed Canva Table

Yes, bold colors can be classy! Use a contrasting dish and a mini bouquet to bring the colors together. Plus: With dried florals, you can save them and use them again!

Vintage Accents

Get a new salad plate and pair it with any simple white dinner plate (whether real or disposable) and it looks like you got an expensive new set of china. Bring out colors by pairing it with colored stemware. With a busy place setting, a white cloth like this easy and elegant quilted one is perfect.

Look 3
Black + Pop

Start with a neutral base and add a pop of color in your florals for a contrast. Personal bud vases at each seat give you lots of bang for the buck. These bud vases have mixed shapes (variety is good and makes for a more interesting table!).

French Countryside

I love this Tuscany look. Cute napkins bring in the right amount of color. Personalize your seating arrangements by writing a name on a simple leaf. Add some lemons to the table to complete the look.

Change Up the Lace

Lace is all the rage…change it up by putting a colored liner under cloth and it’s an entire new look. Here we used a piece of fabric from fabric store underneat the cloth. You can also get colored cloths from Amazon to use underneath. We also used these embroidered napkins that are so popular now.
