It's not necessary that everything match. I like to combine colored plates with simple white ones. Here, I selected green lettuce leaf plates, on plain white dinner plates. Place mats allow for versatility. This table will have large emerald green leaf placemats.
Napkins can easily change the look of the table, and napkin rings add a finishing touch.
Here we've combined raffia with flowers. Candles are the perfect way to make a table special. They can set a festive or romantic mood. Try artichokes that have been cored out, to hold candles. These will be part of the centerpiece.
