Gold and Silver Place Settings

We are taught from an early age that certain color combinations never go together. Gold and silver may be one of those clashing combos, but mixing these two metals in a place setting actually yields beautiful results that could be the perfect choice for your next special occasion. Try alternating gold and silver elements on your table. You could use a silver charger plate at one setting and the gold charger at the next setting and so on. Mixing gold and silver adds a bit of sparkle to any table. Use neutral colors for the rest of your table decorations to emphasize the gold and silver choices. Whites, blacks and solid colors will keep the entire table from looking too busy.
