Pears & Pomegranates

Aside from apples, pears are commonly used in sweet desserts. They can also be used to decorate your table, as with pomegranates. Many eat pomegranates, giving voice to a wish that “our merits be many like the seeds of the pomegranate.” These fruits are not eaten on the second night of the holiday. Instead, opt for a “new fruit” or a fruit that has not been eaten since it was last in season.

The tablescape below features our Cameron Flatware, Stemless and Madison Glassware, Russet Satin Napkins and London Fog Velvet Linens.

Ceremony Doors

A popular trend for outdoor weddings, standalone doors make for a memorable grand entrance. Deck our classic walnut ceremony doors will fall foliage and florals, for a one-of-a-kind first look. It’s also a timeless way to give an intimate backyard wedding a grand & special feel.

Whiskey Barrels

A versatile and functional piece of decor, whiskey barrels can be used throughout your wedding. Use them at the ceremony to mark the entrance or to create a rustic backdrop. For the reception, a bar or buffet table. Whether you opt for a classic whiskey barrel or a whitewashed barrel, they look stunning when topped with fresh florals.

Rustic Benches

A fun way to mix up seating, our rustic benches are cute and comfortable. They can be featured at your ceremony, and are extra cozy when paired with pillows and blankets. For the dinner reception, use them with our Fruitwood Farm table, for a more casual vibe.

Metallic Place Settings

An easy way to add warmth to a colorful backyard event is with gold or silver accents. Featuring our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Austin Flatware, adds a touch of metallics that contrasts beautifully against turquoise centerpieces. It also complements the golden yellows and sunset-inspired oranges throughout the event design. Don’t forget to pull these accents into other parts of your events with gold-rimmed glasses on your bar or gold side tables in your lounge. This creates a more cohesive look.

Bold Centerpieces

When it comes to table centerpieces people often feel the need to use matching pieces. A colorful backyard party is a perfect time to experiment with creative shapes and colors. This tablescape features a mix of vases, in teal, white, gold and clear glass – easy for a DIY backyard party. For candles, we suggest varying heights to add some dimension (though you can also create this with taller arrangements). As far as flowers go, consider keeping it simple but bright with a variety of wildflowers. Orange & yellow tones perfectly contrasted and popped against the teal and white glassware!

Vibrant Linens

Vibrant linens are so much fun! The use of bright colors will lend a sense of liveliness to your event, plus make your event photos pop. Don’t be afraid to use different linens for each table either! Note how we were careful to switch up the color of our table centerpieces depending on the linen color. As a general rule: place lighter colored centerpieces on dark tablecloths and vice versa. Our Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens with their gold veining would be a another way to bring in a subtle metallic accent and a bold pop of color.
