Table decoration

Use linen tablecloths and napkins for an elegant and sophisticated look. Choose a neutral canvas combined with colorful tones for a summery atmosphere.

Add even more color and ambiance to the table by presenting fruit in bowls. Choose seasonal fruits like juicy berries, sweet peaches, and fresh lemons. Strategically place the bowls around the table to give a playful and colorful accent. The fruit not only serves as decoration but can also be a refreshing addition to your drink or a healthy dessert.

Cozy tableware

Create a playful effect by combining different types of dishes and glasses. For example, use neutrally colored plates and make the table setting interesting with blue carafes and champagne glasses with a relief design.
tip 4

Lighting and atmosphere

Scented candles are perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere as the evening sets in. Place scented candles strategically around the garden, such as on the dining table, at the entrance, and around seating areas. Choose No.09 Lemon Notes or No.12 Objets d'Amsterdam for a sparkling scent experience for your guests.
