Simple Turned Elegant.

Trying to be creative and impress your guests at the dinner table? Think of the most simple item included in each plate setting, the napkin. Yes, the napkin, something so simple can be the perfect item to spruce up the dinner tables at your wedding.  This can be done through the easy process of napkin folding. The art of napkin folding took off around 1880. Since then many new styles have appeared. Napkin folding is still used today primarily for special occasions, such as the wedding. You can choose the perfect style to fold your napkins to fit in with the theme of your wedding. 

The simpler styles of folding seem to be what's in and more elegant.
