When we have parties, we eat like there's no tomorrow. However, the nightmare is actually on the catering team since they have to make sure that the table matches the occasion. Otherwise, even if the food is way above everyone's standards, it won't be very appetizing to look at.

Matching the buffet table isn't as difficult as it sounds. You can use anything you want as long as it doesn't conflict with the overall theme of the event. You just have to keep an eye on the color theme of the venue and the event proper itself. For instance, if you're catering for a beach party, you might have to stay away from dark colors and formal props. Just use bright colors and other items that you can easily link to a beach resort. You can even use custom flags just to show how festive and how tropical the theme is. After all, these flags come in all shapes and sizes. Just mix and match the items and colors and you won't go wrong.

On the other hand, if you are catering for a business event or any formal occasion, you can stay away from the extremely bright colors and go with darker and richer tones. This is when you can use props that can emphasize the classy formalities of the event itself. You can use anything from ice sculptures to lighted display cases. However, this is where you can also stay away from custom flags. This is because the use of flags is associated with festive events. Even if the occasion is a wedding or a baptism, the flag might be too gaudy for the guests to handle. It simply wouldn't fit in.
