Nature’s Banquet: Your Guide to Tablescaping
The best things in life come naturally – like, fresh fruit, wild flowers and the ones you choose to share them with. But, around one table, you can make the moment last longer: set the scene with our tablescaping tips, invite a couple friends and make a meal of it.
First things first
Choose your colour scheme. We recommend going for 2-4 colours that complement each other – leaning into deeper tones for autumn and brighter, pastel shades for spring-summer.
Set the tone
We chose rattan and bamboo cutlery for a natural feel to complement our terracotta colour palette. You could also decorate your table with seasonal fruit and foliage – you name it, we’re here for it.
Clash with confidence
Mix and match your textiles, like napkins and tablecloths, with varying patterns and textures for an eclectic feel.
Style your stems
Unbox your Freddie’s centrepiece and style your stems short enough to allow your guests to engage around them. We love keeping a few back for bud vases and dotting them around the table. One for each guest? Now you’re just showing off.
Unleash Your Inner Florist
If you’re looking for other ways to style your stems, learn along with Freddie’s Three Ways To Style arranging videos. He’ll show you new tips and tricks for each new bunch, so you can keep things fresh as a daisy.
