what to put on a garden table.

Whether you’re hosting a fine family banquet, a casual brunch with friends or just want a tasteful garden hideaway to enjoy all to yourself – we can all benefit from a stylish outdoor tablescape. Just how much detail you need depends on the size and formality of the gathering you’re hosting, but we’ve got a few general tips that’ll make sure you’ve got a sweet dining spot no matter the occasion.

The key to a great garden tablescape is tastefully blurring the lines between the indoor and outdoor space. Whether you’re fine dining or just enjoying some casual cocktails, you want your space to feel seamlessly connected with nature, while always keeping those cherished indoor comforts at hand. This starts with choosing the right colour palette. Keep it neutral with plenty of clean whites for a light, airy feel and use smaller accents to mirror the natural colours of your garden. We’re talking swathes of verdant greens and earthy browns, or bright pops of pink, yellow and orange if your garden is heavy on florals.

If you’re not crazy about the natural colour of your garden table, a crisp white tablecloth will create the perfect blank slate to build upon. Go for a cloth made from natural linen, as they’re easy to clean and have a stylishly wrinkled texture that won’t need to be ironed out. From here you can layer up with whatever outdoor table linen takes your fancy. A long outdoor table runner will span the entire length or width of your outdoor table, and is great for creating that cosy family dining feel. Individual outdoor placemats are the perfect option for smaller intimate gatherings, and we’ve got plenty of matching sets that look stunning when paired together.

If you’re looking to go the extra mile and really impress your guests, it’s the little details that will make the biggest impact. An extravagant floral centrepiece will really steal the show if you’ve got enough space on your table. Seek out bright summer blooms that complement the colours on your garden table linen, either from a professional florist, local hedgerows or even what’s growing in your own garden. Finish with scented candles – citrussy aromas are great for repelling flies – and arrange fairy lights, lanterns, and other battery-powered lighting fixtures for when the sun goes down.
