A Seasonal Tablescape: Rich Hues & Orchard Crops
As the days get shorter, we’re toasting to cosy gatherings. It’s the perfect moment to slow down and bring the outside in. Pull up a chair and join us, as we rethink the side table. Here’s our guide to tablescaping – welcoming rich, earthy tones and natural textures decorated by nature’s bounty.
Choose your colour palette
As September falls, we’re loving rich and moody tones, softened by pastel petals. This play of light and dark helps our flowers really pop, bringing a fresh burst of sweetness to the table. Moss-green textiles and deep purples hues wrap it all with warmth.
Lay out nature’s best
We love a theme – and this time around, we’re celebrating the changing of seasons with locally grown fruits, like figs, pears and plums.
Add texture
When laying down textiles, add life and movement. We did this by scrunching up a runner, so get creative and see what you can find.
Play with silhouettes
Organic shapes and varied heights keep the look effortless and playful. Choose vases and tapered candles in different sizes, and let stems lean outward to break the symmetry.
Strike a balance
When working with silhouettes, allow for plenty of breathing space – this adds lightness and elegance, while keeping the arrangement from feeling crowded.
Create a focal point
Let your blooms take centre stage: place your main arrangement where all eyes will land, setting the scene for everything around it.
