Create a Rainbow Table Setting

Before spring showers bring fresh blooms to your garden, rainy days color the sky with that spectrum of bending light—the rainbow. Let this abiding symbol of hope and life inspire your next gathering with a table setting that colorfully displays all seven of the arch’s signature hues.

From a bridal shower to a ladies luncheon to a birthday party, any number of spring entertaining scenarios are perfect for this rainbow table setting. Simply pair dinnerware in bold solids with colorfully patterned plates. Then create a centerpiece that highlights each color from red to violet in the ROY-G-BIV spectrum. (If little ones are part of the festivities, the setting can even be educational.)

 A rainbow table makes for an especially creative approach to a St. Patrick’s Day gathering. Rather than relying on the usual monochromatic decor, take a more creative approach. Just make sure that the green at the middle of the rainbow truly takes center stage, and leave a little pot of gold-foiled chocolate coins at one end of your floral display for guests to enjoy.
