Linens: Bold colors, beading and embroidery, multiple-color linens and sheer overlays...see party rental locations
Tableware: Colored glass plates and glasses, curvaceous, wavy plates
Individual three-compartment holders for hummus, olives, and olive oil at each place setting...see pampered chef, department stores
Non-traditional plate shapes - triangles, squares, rectangles are all popular
The charger remains popular, but leave it throughout the entire service, and remove only when the entree plate has been removed
48" or 54" squares are in, all 60" rounds are out....but,
Combine squares and rounds.. for a new and different look.
Using glass, metal, ceramic or stone table tops instead of linens...way cool.
