From intimate cocktail and dinner parties with friends to family spreads for special gatherings, a thoughtfully curated table design is always a nice touch for any occasion! As the focal point, you'll create a stunning centerpiece using seasonal flower varieties heat-hardy blooms such as sunflowers, native New England wildflowers, and roses, mixed with lush greenery and other elements. Then, learn how to artistically build on this seasonal aesthetic by incorporating a variety of textures, tableware, props, and linens into your tablescape design to create a complete decor design.
