Ciao, amici! At A Classic, we believe that a well-dressed table is more than just a surface; it’s a journey. Today, we’re taking you on a culinary and visual trip to Italy with two distinct tablescape designs: “Grove” and “Garden,” both inspired by the rich textures and vibrant flavors of the Italian countryside.
The GROVE: Sun-Kissed Lemon
Imagine a sun-drenched lemon grove overlooking the sparkling Amalfi Coast. This is the feeling we aimed to capture with our “Grove” tablescape. We started with our Belle Fleur Linen in Duke Blue and to add the vibrant energy of the citrus groves, we incorporated pops of sunny yellow with our Mustard Rustico Napkins.
Styling Tips:
- Lemon Decor: Lemons are the star of the show! Scatter fresh lemons along the table, tuck them into floral arrangements, or even use them as place card holders.
- Vintage Charm: Our Carousel Blue Goblets add a touch of vintage elegance, reminiscent of antique Italian glassware.
Menu Suggestions:
- Aperitivo: Aperol Spritz, bruschetta with lemon ricotta, and marinated olives.
- Primo: Lemon risotto with shrimp and asparagus.
- Secondo: Pan-seared sea bass with lemon-caper sauce.
- Dolce: Limoncello panna cotta.
The GARDEN: Rustic Countryside Charm
Our “Garden” tablescape transports you to a rustic Tuscan farmhouse, where the aroma of sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil fills the air. We achieved this warm and inviting look using our classic Red and White Check Linen, layered with the earthy texture of our Burlap Linen.
Styling Tips:
- Natural Elements: Incorporate natural elements like dried pasta strands nestled in glass jars, fresh tomatoes displayed in terracotta bowls, and potted basil plants as centerpieces.
- Rustic Touches: Embrace imperfections! Use wooden serving boards and hand-written place cards for an authentic countryside feel.
Menu Suggestions:
- Antipasto: Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and basil.
- Primo: Homemade pasta with a rich tomato and basil sauce.
- Secondo: Rustic Italian sausage with roasted vegetables.
- Dolce: Tiramisu
