Maison Clara - Tablescapes Italian theme weddings event design Tuscany Rome Portofino Milan Strawberry fields: table setting ideas for spring & summer

Spring is in bloom (by the way: check out sunny Italian destinations for your holidays and events abroad!) and strawberries cheer up our table... This is the right time to plan parties and special days in a lovely garden!

Be a classy host and welcome your guests with a joyful and elegant mise en table, where colours, aromas and tastes will blend in perfect harmony.

TIP #1 create mini strawberry fields for your guests: lay strawberries on a plain colour paper, choose baby pink to create a ton sur ton effect. Want to play with hues? If you like contrasts you can use black paper, perfect for night parties, or if you are in a romantic mood (or if you are planning your kids´ birthday party) you can create a lovely meadow using green paper... It´s up to you!

TIP #2 You can turn these strawberry fields into a stunning centerpiece or into table name places. Play with china pottery bowls, wicker baskets or glass jars, depends on the style of your event. Remember to match the paper colour with other elements, such as the napkins and the tablecloth.

TIP #3 Food pairing: strawberries and chocolate is a classic and divine combination! You can re-invent this traditional dessert creating mini chocolate cakes or donuts. For a perfect romantic toast try strawberries with champagne (do you remember Pretty Woman?! of course you do!) or red wine...

Do you usually serve fruits at your parties?
