TIP #3: Keep your color palette tight

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE COLOR!  But a tightly edited collection of colors is once again, more pleasing to the eye than the hodge podge of colors that will result if you don’t plan your table elements accordingly.

Can’t find that favorite candy in just the right color for your table?  Package it up in an easy box or bag that does coordinate.  You might not be able to create that perfect chartreuse green M&M but you can certainly put M&Ms in a cute chartreuse box. See?  Easy!
