Theme queen
Choose a theme that suits the occasion, then use it as a guide when it comes to your decorative elements. For example, a vintage theme creates a nostalgic and charming atmosphere, with decor elements like vintage furniture, lace tablecloths, antique China and old-fashioned games, while hay bale seating, lanterns and picnic-style fare will create a rustic, laid-back atmosphere. For a sophisticated look, opt for crisp white tablecloths, a neutral colour palette and an abundance of fresh greenery.
