Dinner Party Ideas: The Making of a Moroccan-Inspired Table | At ...

moroccan-inspired dinner table mood board

Ethnic cuisine is still the most popular dinner party theme. People likes it because it is easy to organize and get the look based on the menu you plan to serve.

Your tabletop should set the tone of your dinner party. Start by selecting the dinnerware and table linens.?Since you probably do not wish to invest in plates and serving dishes that you will use only one time, it is best to opt for dinnerware ?inspired by? versus the real thing.

I created a Moroccan-inspired mood board composed of ?tableware that you will be to use over and over for both indoor and outdoor entertaining.?Typically, guests eat with their hands at a Moroccan feast. This is not a popular custom for us. Therefore, I went with the standard place settings. You can still serve each dish family style in big serving plates, fish trays or tagines.

The Jali Lattice Dinnerware, as suggested by West Elm?s stylists, have the right vibe. Plates and bowls are sold by pack of 4. Complement the table with a few truly Moroccan metal bowls that you will find at a speciality shop.

I also like the modern feel of the Chase Blue Plate layered with pool blue Max dinnerware from Crate and Barrel (top picture). For a casual look, pair it with the amber or the turquoise?dimpled glassware series. You can put flowers in recycled glass jars as simple?centrepieces.
