Actividades: Centrepieces are key complements to the plates, glassware and cutlery on a table setting. From floral centrepieces to specially crafted designer art pieces according to the themes of the event. For example for an education theme, you can arrange a centrepiece using materials from the classrooms. Pencils, papers, erasers, etc., and for a sea/marine theme, you can use sand, shells, dried starfishes, etc. Tablecloths are more than a mere piece of cloth. Today you can select among a wide range of colours, materials and textures. Be it printed or in bold colours, tablecloths set the base tone to lay the rest of the details on the table. An add-on to tablecloths are table runners. You can choose contrasting tones or matching a bold colour tablecloth with a printed table runner. It all depends on the final look and feel you want to achieve.
