Setting a beautiful table isn't about dusting off your wedding china when company comes around. It's about combining special—not necessarily expensive—pieces with your everyday basics. But all the gorgeous and affordable dinnerware options can seem overwhelming. What patterns are worth splurging on? Should you play it safe with white china basics?
