First, there's the excitement of the engagement-sparkly ring, love, FOREVER!! Next it's wedding planning-guest lists, color schemes, fights with your Mother. Somewhere along the line you realize that guests are going to give you tons of great gifts just for committing to a lifetime together, so it's time to bust out the scanning gun at your favorite home goods shop and get down to business. Post wedding you have a pile of gifts a mile high, and if you're like many practical couples, you've gone the more classic route for tableware-white, simple lines, clear glass. Sure the basics fill a need, but let's face it, white gets pretty boring after awhile unless you're a complete minimalist. With a couple of unique additions, you can take your table to the next level. To get you started, salt + cloth did a photo shoot with newlywed Meggie Lindberg, and transformed her basic yet beautiful tableware into two inspirational settings: An intimate breakfast for two (enjoy this while you can) and a lively girl's night dinner. We hope you enjoy the results.
