You’ve planned the perfect menu, curated a guest list and are counting down the days until you get to celebrate the event you’ve been anticipating for weeks. Now it’s time to design the key element of what will pull everything together – your tablescape! Tablescapes have the capacity to be super simple, with a few candles or a small floral arrangement, to full on transformations with specialty linens, custom centerpieces and more. While your tablescape vision might look a little different these days, there are still ways to create a beautiful look with things around your house whether you’re celebrating a special occasion with your family or with a few friends. Here are a few ways to make a tablescape stand out with things you already have at home:
Fresh From YOUR Garden
Spring has sprung and now is the time to use flowers right from your yard! Fresh cut flowers from your garden make perfect centerpieces or accents to your place settings. Simply cut as many stems as you’d like and arrange in decorative glassware or a vase.
Get Creative with Personalized Touches
Create custom menus, place settings or other fun touches to add a personalized touch to your table. Etsy.com and Canva.com are two great resources for ordering digital prints or creating your own print-outs.
When it Doubt, Pull Out The Candles
Candles are a classic touch for any table, but make it fun with colorful candles of all shapes and sizes – there are no rules in quarantine! Line the center of the table for a timeless look or add height with taper candles in various heights.
