Pretty Table Linen: Small Money, Big Effect.

This colorful floral overlay (there’s white underneath) on the cake table is really rich looking. It could hold the table on its own. Combined with an interesting cake and some sparkle from the candles and silver stand, it’s one heck of an attention-getter. —David
