Brazilian Place Setting |
|
|
The foundation
for a Brazilian place setting can come together nicely with just
a couple of readily available materials. A piece of wood and a little
bit of stain can make a very attractive box (which can be used over
and over again for different occasions). Line the inside with snake
grass to create a funky, green effect.
Place your
fish-inspired knife and fork inside the box, and you will have
an ocean theme unfolding.
For serving
the Feijoadas, pale blue bowls are attractive and inexpensive.
Place them in the middle of each guest's box. They will be a nice
complement to your pale blue tablecloth.
A flower treatment
for each place setting can be achieved simply by placing an orchid
at the top left corner of each guest's box.
For napkins,
avoid a fancy fold, but try to find something with an interesting
colour pattern, such as the four-panel napkins that we chose.
Fold them in half and then in quarters, and place them right on
top of each bowl on each place setting. .
Add a tall
water glass just outside of the top right corner of each box.
When the look
comes together, your guests will feel like they each have their
own piece of Brazil, right in front of them.
