Decor gives your guests the first impression of what the event will entail. A country themed event without the addition of a few hay bales, a mounted longhorn skull and classic blue and white tin plates is just a cookout. A Spanish fiesta is just food on the table without chili ropes, old pottery, and authentic colorful blankets to spice things up. Decor sets the tone for the food that follows.
In a more subtle example, the use of colorful decor at the beginning of Spring ushers guests into a new season. It encourages them to feel brighter first through their eyes and then through their mouths with light yet flavorful options. That being said, decor must also match the food being served. Bold foods need bold decor light delicate foods need bright and cheerful decor.
Of course it also helps to use floral arrangements to dress up any occasion. In these photos we used Sommerfield Design Flowers. At your next dinner party try decorating differently than your normal style. You’ll be amazed at how many people notice slight changes and how it can be a conversation starter.
