The document provides tips for setting up an elegant buffet table. It recommends using different heights by stacking cake plates to create a tower for the food display. LED candles or twinkle lights should be used instead of real candles for ambient lighting. Table décor should be selected with guests in mind and consider using floral bushes, silk greenery, or candles on tall holders. Color can be added through decor elements and the buffet should have a neatly arranged display of food from the same categories across the various plate heights.

It is the focal point of the party, so you
should know how to set one up the proper
way.

3. Create Different Heights to Make
the Table Visually Appealing

A great trick is
through the use
of a set of
stacking cake
plates

4. 
You can go for at least 3 layers to come
up with a tower offering delicious and
sumptuous food.

Make sure that the food is placed neatly
on the layers and that what they offer are
of the same category.

5. Consider the Use of LED
Lighting Systems
This can be in the form of LED candles,
which are extremely pretty and will provide
ambient lighting. They look very much like
real candles, but they do not present the
same possible hazards such as table napkins
or cloths catching fire.

6. Select the Table Décor with
Your Guests in Mind

You may also want to use tea lights,
votives, pillar candles, and twinkle lights.

7. In the event that you still want to use
traditional candles, you should never forget
to place them on candelabras or tall candle
holders.

8. Add Color to the Buffet Table
Almost anything can actually be used to
decorate a buffet table, given that it is
food safe.
 You should consider using floral bushes
and silk greenery, great examples of which
are wisteria and English ivy.
