Step 1: Table Runner

Begin at the bottom with a runner that matches your style. Simple, glamorous, exotic, modern, global, whatever you like. Use one on rectangular tables or crisscross two on round tables.

Step 2: Bowl

Select a large bowl. Something that either blends in or stands out from your table runner. Match metallics for a shimmering silhouette or choose contrasting colors for an eye-catching statement.

Step 3: Spheres

Decorative spheres are all the rage right now and we have tons to choose from. You want just enough to form a heaping mound in the bowl, with a few extra to scatter across the table.

Step 4: Votives

Finally, complete the look by filling five or six clear candleholders with votives and mix them in with the loose spheres on the table.
