Crystals as Centerpieces: Elevating Your Dining Table
For ages, flowers have been the go-to for a table’s centerpiece, but why not shift the focus to something even more energizing for Earth? This season, crystals can play a whole new role at your dining table. Adding them elevates the environment, brings a newness to the scene, and offers even more opportunities to make a colorful, sparkly statement. That’s all great, but let’s take a moment to discuss the juju (or lack thereof) in that center table with rocks on it.
Create a Multilevel Effect with Crystals in a Traditional Space
Create a WOW multilevel effect in a traditional space by using all the different forms of crystals. Even when they are used in such a way as to not be obviously seen, the discernible shapes of crystals boost a traditional space to a whole new level. The effect truly is a matter of “the more, the merrier,” as crystals used in groups—even in concealed groupings—amaze by the multitude of shapes and forms they create. Indeed, even when crystals are not necessarily the main focus of a space, the space is in a crystalline state, thanks to the multitude of angles and forms that crystals can take. Naturally, this effect is truest when the crystals are used in sufficient quantity and quality.
Crystals as Conversation Starters for Your Dining Table
No matter what arrangement or combination you choose, a centerpiece made of crystals is bound to be a conversational highlight. Not only is it sure to be a topic that guests bring up, but it’s also something that will help activate the energy in the room and around your table. Creating a positive, lively environment is especially important if you’re looking forward to some table talk, whether that be debate, laughter, or some good (hopefully non-dramatic) family conversation. Keep things on track and flowing in the right direction with your centerpiece that’s either mostly or completely made of crystals. And if you find the idea of a floral centerpiece with crystals to be just that—flowery—there is, of course, the option of just going with a crystal centerpiece.
Crystals as Thoughtful Hostess Gifts
Offer crystals to your guests as they leave, or take some along to present as a hostess gift. The effect this gift will have depends directly on the joy and thought that you put into it. Yet, the gift of crystals can have an even greater impact if you take the time during the giving to imbue it with intention.
Crystal Pillars for the Perfect Dining Table
Here are several concepts for using crystals in a centerpiece or on a dining table: Lapis Lazuli Pillar allows for clear, harmonious communication. This formation makes for a perfect dining room table accent because it helps everyone feel at ease when expressing themselves. Moss Agate Pillar is full of energy that is perfect for bringing to life the abundant year ahead and sharing that good vibe with all your guests. Fluorite Pillar protects your peace of mind, allowing you to keep your personal vibration high and positive, especially in a shared space. Crazy Lace Agate Pillar, with its eye-popping color palette, makes “joy” its middle name.
Calming Crystals for Stress-Free Dining
The Lepidolite Pillar calms any anxiety or stress one might have experienced before sitting down at the table, yet buffet dining allows for some kind of interaction between diner and dish. As guests make their way through the dinner experience, they should feel at ease with the layout and structure of the meal, and the plates need to reflect this ease. For that reason, this course is an assembly that reflects autumn in both flavor and appearance. In both taste and hint of drizzle, it beckons the next course with the croon of the chill in the air and the flaring of autumn’s colors.
Crystal Beauties at Every Place Setting
Settings that gleam and glisten: Make sure to put these crystal beauties at every place setting, as they can serve double duty as favors and conversation pieces. Rose Quartz will help fill the space with love, and with the Golden Healer’s help, family dynamics should be kept peaceful and serene. Clear Quartz should do the trick for filling the space with light, and with that, you should have some nice permissions to photograph as well.
