The "Bouquet"; "Pope's Hat", from Perfect Table Settings.
Who ever said napkin folding is dead? Well it wasn't us! We're fascinated here at HGTV.ca, and every year we try and beat the magic that is this video on pyramid napkin folding, a result of a joint effort between the foodnetwork.ca and HGTV.ca teams. We haven't yet done so, but now armed with this book, we have a renewed sense of enthusiasm! All kidding aside, folding, styling and accessorizing your dinner napkin is one of the easiest, most cost-effective and personable ways to theme a party. It's an art form, really, one that author Denise Vivaldo has turned into a winning business styling and catering celebrity dinner parties. In this, her sixth book, Vivaldo shares over 100 step-by-step napkin folds for easy, intermediate and advanced design, with hundreds of inspirational ideas and photographs for theme parties.
