Create Sophisticated Drama with a Black Tablecloth

Hosting a black tie event? You don’t need to be planning a fancy party to enjoy the benefits of a black tablecloth. Black creates a clean, modern palette for neutrals and brights, adding a dash of sophistication to events ranging from weddings to fun foodie gatherings. Last week we explored the shimmer of silver tablecloths, and today’s post is all about table coverings in black. Ready for a closer look?…
