    Figure B

    Materials:

    12 yards black lace and gold organza
    Roses
    Glass panes made earlier

    1. Use gold organza as the first layer of the tablecloth. Put black lace on top of that.

    2. Gather up the black lace material at each corner and pin it up (figure A).

    3. Place the three candle holders in the center of the table. Add the glass panes and for a final touch, put some gold spray painted lemon leaves and rose petals on the table and place votive candles (figure B) among them.
    Expert Tip: If you know you're going to be going to a party involving dancing, keep that in mind when you prepare your wardrobe. You might want to keep your shoes relatively simple; something you're going to be comfortable in throughout the evening. And women, keep in mind that you want something you can move in, so perhaps avoid the tight skirt and go for something with a little more flair to it.
