For a beloved man, every woman wants to organize something special: surprise with an unusual gift, please with an unusual a dish. Surely there will be no special festive atmosphere superfluous. And if cooking an extraordinary dish for us women not new, because the Internet gives us a huge collection of dishes for choice and experiment, then creating the necessary mood require some effort and imagination, of course. Dinner table can become a real work of art if you serve it in a special way, thereby decorating the apartment and bringing to gray everyday life holiday sparkle. First of all, you need to decide what exactly closer to you: is it a classic military style, perhaps a flag tricolor Russian Federation, or it will be the atmosphere of a general dinner like four centuries ago.
Military style
The first thing that comes to mind is to set up a table with a military style, or military style. This option is not only simple, but also effective. AT due to the fact that the holiday is already close, you can easily find in shops and shops any objects with a thematic coloring. it there may be napkins, dishes, and a tablecloth for which they are suitable any military or near military colors such as khaki or safari, and camouflage colors are also possible – it depends on your taste. Cookware But you can use the most dull or simple, but if there is the desire to organize something like a military campaign may useful metal, for example, aluminum, possibly at forks not even all the teeth will be, and the bowls and mugs will have dents. If you want the dishes to have a camouflage color, you can Use cardboard cookware that is easy to purchase the store. And at the same time the same napkins.
Instead of cups, you can use flasks or small thermoses, or even led flasks for water, if you have any. Dessert many strong men also will not give up sweets, you can pack in a paper bag and mark with the most serious look The importance of dry soldering.
In addition to dishes unusual for everyday life, create an atmosphere all sorts of toy figures will help, for example, it can be soldiers, tanks, planes or any military, albeit toy the technique you will find.
Suitable for decorating the table with corrugated paper, if its color is brown, swamp or dark green. She can use to decorate glasses or salad bowls, as well as from it can make stands for figures. You can write on such paper a menu where dishes will also be called in the army. For example, cutlets can be formed into round balls and call them “cannonballs,” and a horseradish appetizer – “a salvo of napalm.” Generally, the limitation is only your imagination. Place such a menu before each guest, if you celebrate, you will be a big company. Of cards can be made of the same corrugated paper, where guest name indicated. In addition to the name, you can write a few lines of congratulations playful or serious.
Alternatively, you can recreate the atmosphere of the army canteen, organizing everything as austere as possible. But this option is not too will please the real military. After all, they see such an atmosphere day, it won’t be a wonder for them. However, for representatives peaceful professions serving in military style will catchy.
Tricolor
In addition to decorating and setting the table in a military style, perhaps use to design the colors of the flag of the Russian Federation. You can, of course, spread a flag instead of a tablecloth, but that’s not at all required. On the contrary, it would be better if the whole atmosphere is hide in the details. But not all three colors should be combined in one things, no, this is optional. It is better to have it separately. For example, let there be white sophisticated dishes, blue candles in high candlesticks, red napkins and transparent, perhaps even crystal glasses, cutlery, let them be polished, it will also add solemnity. The tablecloth may be white and linen or silk. Together, this will help create the right the atmosphere.
You can also use a variety of attributes to decorate that are found, for example, in the form of a military. Unusually will look like name cards in the shape of stars. And they can also be made white-blue-red, or each color individually. Instead of stars you can use the image shoulder straps, patterns in the form of stripes, army lacing and more. Will look unusual and Confetti of tricolor flowers laid out all over the table. Ok if they will be in the form of stars of different sizes. If they will stand on the table candles, then their flame will throw beautiful reflections on the stars, dishes and glasses that will make your evening unforgettable. And yes little trick. Glare will play more spectacularly if candles will be of different lengths.
If you still don’t want to separate the colors of the flag, use them at the same time, you can use a white-blue-red ribbon, decorating her, for example, dessert, which can be packaged in a transparent paper. Tape can be fixed and napkins, using for decoration stars. You can make small toothpicks and color cardboard flags and stick them in snacks and salads. Or in memory of the battles of our country “destroy the enemy” by eating dessert or any other the dish on which the flag of the enemy is hoisted. Since the twenty third February is not only a masculine, but also a feminine holiday, on the tables you can put flowers in the same colors as tricolor, make separate plain bouquets or combine in one with care and tasteful.
Ascetic style
If a variety of decorations is not to your taste, then you can try table setting to make more ascetic, but at the same time guests should understand what the reason they gathered. White classic a tablecloth will now be appropriate. Need to use a small the number of dishes, and put a name plate near each plate a card where there will be not only a name, but also a guest title. Even if u guests are not military professions, everyone is pleased to feel the general. And if you can get caps, it will help create the necessary atmosphere. On such a table would be superfluous a pile of various salads and snacks – they are better to place a little to the side, on a separate small table. In the center a festive table you can put a book, preferably on a special stand. The book needs to be revealed on the history of the victorious battle. So the holiday spirit can be supported by a small transparent vase with high rose.
Marine theme
In addition to the ground forces, there is also a navy. And if your favorite served in him or he just dreams of the sea, you can use this topic too. Blue tablecloth imitating the sea surface or just in a blue and white strip, will help create the right the atmosphere. Sea foam can be fantasized from light air shawl. A good decoration on the table will be dishes with patterns of fish, algae, octopus and other marine life. Napkins can pick up with a picture of an anchor, a lifebuoy, a shell or just what you think fits the maritime theme. Guests can ask to come in vests or even in pirate shawls. BUT personalized cards in the form of starfish.
Dinner with the general
If you want your man to feel real the commander that mounted a horse and flaunted in uniform with gold epaulettes, then on the table everything should look like a feast of those times. Wooden lacquered table, luxurious with a gold border plates, candles in elegant candlesticks, thin glasses on tall legs, polished cutlery laid out according to the rules good manners. So I want to proudly straighten my back and grin at snappy mustache, even if they are not. And in the center of the table prancing a horse, albeit in sculpture, but no doubt like a living one. Can I have some more arrange a stand with a historical map of the world where red dotted lines will mark battles and glorious victories.
Make the holiday of defenders of the fatherland unforgettable. It’s not like that many days when men can be surrounded by attention and honor, inspiring them to new exploits.,
