How to Create the Ultimate Grazing Board

Styling Tips:

The Spring and Summer season is all about instagrammable grazing boards | beautiful table settings and gorgeous picnic spreads. Curating your tablescape | decorations and menu can be a really fun part of planning any occasion.&nbsp

It’s important to first choose your theme and aesthetics from tableware | fabrics | greenery and flowers you have available. Your colour palette choice can be guided by the beautiful fresh food or botanicals in season.&nbspPick 2 or 3 colours to inspire your decorating style and then mix and match a variety of serveware | crockery and linens or napery for a personal touch. Finally | adjust the lighting and select the perfect playlist to set the mood.&nbsp


Assemble your grazing board with an abundance of colours | textures and layer your items artfully at different heights to create interest. Start by slicing and arranging your cheese first and then fill the spaces around them. You can fold charcuterie meats in creative ways to add texture and use pistachios and other nuts to fill the gaps. Creating a focal point will also add to the aesthetic | like a baked brie wheel oozing in honeycomb.&nbsp


Lawn games are also a great way to keep the group entertained while enjoying a weekend afternoon grazing in the sun.
