As we settle into fall, we begin to think about fall decorating and entertaining this season. The design experts at Blossom Flower Shops have some great ideas to help you make your autumn table as fabulous as you are. Mix and match metallic accents for a contrast that creates a relaxing, peaceful vibe. Choose a variety of metals for vases, candlesticks, and flatware. A comfortable, relaxed table will mean comfortable guests, and a happy host, too. Break out the formalwear. All those linens, china and crystal you save for special occasions? Make it special by dressing your table with these rarely-seen items and enjoy the break from the everyday. Accent your centerpiece by highlighting a few blooms to repeat across your table. Place an individual flower like those in your centerpiece in a stem vase by each place setting. Spread the love- and flowers- across your entire table. Read More
