All Around

How do you get around washing all the dishes in a formal dining table?
I love the look of a formal, set, dining table in the dining room of my home. Does anyone find that they have to wash all of the settings before using them because they've sat out for so long (subject to dust and other elements)? Is there any way to get around this, or is it just the price of decoration?
Unfortunately, I too have found that this is the price of decoration! My mom used to set the table with the dinner plates upside down (usually a while before holiday dinners), which prevented the cats from getting to the side you eat on (lol), but then you couldn't see the pretty patterns. I think that a quick rinse in the sink or a wipe with a wet dishcloth is ok if you are just trying to dust them before guests arrive, but then you may worry about the dust bunnies that collect on the table cloth or runner in between the dishes and glassware. For us, we will see dust within about two days - I usually try to dust once a week.
I would recommend taking pictures of the pretty table (think wedding photography - http://www.table-settings-with-pictures.com/images/oprah-winter-2005-3.jpg).
If that doesn't work for you, a fresh arrangement of flowers will always look nice even if the table isn't set for a formal dinner.
Good luck, I hope this helps
